mmm pumpkin pie.

I've not bothered with this sort of thing before, but faced with a glut of spaghetti squash I thought Id give it a go and Im so glad I did.  Used all butter shortcrust pastry made with an egg (why not  ) then followed the BBC recipe   >> this one << reducing the sugar and leaving out the butter and salt - it came out really nice.      

I've been eating it sliced cold as it seems a shame to pour custard over it.   

We have an American chap who buys a turkey from us for Thankgsgiving.  Last year he bought us a pumpkin pie his wife made.  I've always wanted to know what they taste like.

Can't say I was impressed, it was VERY sweet, but perhaps if like you Lardy, there wasn't so much sugar in it..........
