Fill up your suitcase with canned pumpkin (there's a recipe for pumpkin pie on the back). I had to import nearly a dozen cans to the UK last Turkey Day.

You can get tinned pumpkin in the UK, they sell it on Ocado.

I think canned pumpkin here is different - it already has lots of spice and stuff in.

I wouldn't know about that, but the point of tinned pumpkin is to save all the turning raw pumpkin into cooked pumpkin puree work; it is easy to add spices, sugar, etc. afterwards. I made a pumpkin pie from tinned pumpkin once and it was very nice.

I can make pumpkin pie out of normal fresh pumpkin, so I think I'll pass on that :)

I'm in Scotland and everything is different. It took visiting three supermarkets to find one that was open after 8pm yesterday...

How long are you over for?

Things are different in Spanish supermarches too but you can find familiar UK things in some. One of the nice things about travel though is the new things you find. Pumpkin pie ice cream sounds yummy. I hope you are all having a lovely time.

Everything is different here. [livejournal.com profile] marnanel described the robins as looking like they'd swallowed another robin, which is about right. It's all bigger and shinier and I guess that's because we''re so far south. I'
ve never been this far south before!

Having a lovely time, though.

There seems to be pumpkin everything at this time of year. [livejournal.com profile] theora got us some pumpkin ale which I was not so keen on.
