Shake Shack October 2011 Flavors - Any Must-Haves?

Monday Shackenstein

Tuesday Coconut Caramel

Wednesday Fluffernutter

Thursday Ginger Pear

Friday Pumpkin Pie

Saturday S’mores

Sunday Apple Spice Cake

We can only hope pumpkin pie is like pumpkin pie oh my, but I doubt it. Spice cake and the pear look interesting.

      Best I could find is green colored vanilla custard with chocolate cake and possibly cookie dough mixed in. No mint flavor.

          Tried it. It was good, but I don't think it was must-have worthy. Flavor only, no cake. Definitely tasted the apple spice.

    2. The miami eater posted the shacktoberfest menu which looks pretty interesting in general.

      1. Pumpkin pie is another flavor only -- not a must have. The shacktoberfest stuff was good but not must have either. Had the milkshake, not the chocolate concrete.

          Thanks tpigeon. I was tempted to try the apfel strudel milkshake; I guess I'll skip it.

          2. I shake in my slacks, but I must disagree with tpigeon. I know that people who do so are usually found at the bottom of the East river wearing nothing but SS concrete shoes, but I must be true to my taste buds. I wasn't expecting to like the pumpkin but I did. It was deeply and richly flavored. If you like pumpkin, I think it's well worth having.

            I've also had the fluffernutter and the ginger pear. The fluffernutter was interesting, but I'm not a huge fan of pb in ice-cream, so I'm the wrong person to assess it. The ginger pear has a ginger bite and a lingering ginger finish, but the pear appears more as grainy texture than taste. Quite pleasant overall.

              I did not dislike the pumpkin, I just thought it was not worth going out of your way to get it and if you are watching your calories, spend them on the oh my which comes out for thanksgiving next month.

              For me, even though it did have a strong pumpkin flavor, it fell short of must haves like pancakes & bacon, gianduja, pumpkin pie oh my, peach pie oh my.

              I probably should have said pumpkin pie was good but not must have.
