This is just too silly! Pumpkin, canned or otherwise, has indeed been
discussed many times over the years. I don't make pumpkin pie but I
have made pumpkin soup. And yes, I've used canned plain pumpkin for
that when sugar/cooking pumpkins are not in season.

I do have to wonder now: what did Ophelia do with that beef brisket she
bought and "corned" right around US Saint Patrick's Day?
