As I said before you can get it at Waitrose, (or at least the Waitrose in Chandlers Ford, Hampshire has it) especially if there is an IBM office around the corner, lots of Americans then in the area. I also got my daughter root beer in Waitrose, but it was Australian alas!

Also if you are moving out west you might want to make cabbage rolls. Even people with no ukrainian or polish ancestry have cabbage rolls with everything out here.
:confused::confused:in a tin? Surely the whole point of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving is that you can make it with fresh pumpkin. Tinned pumpkin is for making pie at other times of the year when fresh isn't available.

An authentic North American thanksgiving dinner the pumpkin will be in a tin. However it is very difficult to carve a face with.

And this is something that got served up to me once......

Lime jelly laced with....... Pineapple and marshmallows, and this was plopped on my plate next to the Turkey. I nearly vommmmmmmmed:eek::ohmy:

Subsequent years I have declined all invites for Thanks giving dinners. I did however invite them and served them a full English Roast Dinner and they loved it, I think they are coming again this year as they love the way I do roast potatoes and roast Parsnips. :thumbsup:

Have a look on www.Kraftcanada.com there are some great recipes on there, my OH got a subscription for their magazine and it has pulled us out of the sh%* a few times.......Happy Trails:shades_smile:
