Heck I am not female but boy is pumpkin pie good! Served warm with a little runny cream... YUM!
I love this topic - food is one of my other passions! I am in South Africa and we have a rather large greek community nearby. Needless to say all sorts of sticky and sweet puddings e.g baklava and kataifi abound.
We don't really have a national dessert as such in SA but we make a pudding called Malva Pudding. It is a sort of combination of butter, sugar, flour eggs and spices. No it does not sound too appetising but it is really delicious! I make the worlds most wicked sticky toffee chocolate pudding!
A pot luck dinner sounds like a great idea - although looking at the posts so far it might just end up being a dessert pig out of note!
