You've reminded me, I ought to make roast veggie soup. It's a faff, but it's very sweet and tasty - when I can be bothered. Most of the soups and stews I make are vegan, but that's more down to what I usually have in than by design. I'll see if I can find vegetarian cream cheese, so thanks for the idea!
I have to confess that I live abroad, so I feel as if I've imported (?) this fondness for pumpkin and have to keep it quiet because it's seen as odd!
Sumac, at least the stuff I've seen, has a maple-crimson colour. You've caught me out in trying to describe the taste. It's a bit citrusy, but not as distinctively so as lemongrass. It tastes as if it comes from the earth, but it's very slightly bitter, rather than woody like haldi. I would have said it's relatively mild, but I'm told my 'mild' isn't the same for everybody else, so I might be a bad guide.
I'm not really selling this, am I? I hope somebody else chips in with an interesting meal.
