Where in Europe are you finding canned pumpkin?

I’ve been hunting for it in Britain for the last eight years, and have had to make ‘mock pumpkin’ pie for every single year…

You pick a real pumpkin and get the stuff out of it? That is dedication!

It doesn’t take that long, Ski. Pumpkin is one crop we’ve always got more than enough of every year, so we do a lot of pumpkin dishes.
