Farmers are putting turkeys on crash diet and killing them early so they aren't to big for a potential "Rule 6" Christmas dinner.

I haven't had pumpkin pie for about 20 years. All the major retailers here don't sell it any more - "no demand, Mate". When I was younger it was a way of marking the seasons. A thing to look forward to before Christmas.
I do miss it.

Oh! What a loss! I wonder why there's no demand?
Probably being naïve here...

Cottage Life Magazine - Oct 2020 - did a survey via Instagram ::) asking "what is your must have pie for Thanksgiving dessert?". The results are in....
46 percent pumpkin pie
14 percent apple pie
14 percent pecan pie
7 percent strawberry rhubarb pie
3 percent sugar pie
11 percent "other" pie
5 percent went rogue and gave an answer that wasn't any sort of pie - the list included pumpkin cake, pumpkin cheesecake and pumpkin ice cream....pumpkin is very popular :)
Wish I could send you a piece of Mom's pumpkin pie Maureen!! :) :) Her pumpkin cheesecake is very delicious too!!

"never had pumpkin pie"
Oh gosh, that's too bad. It's one of the best - right up there with rhubarb and blueberry.

Thirty years ago I used to be able to buy tinned pumpkin which was a lovely treat (although I've also been known to bring back a tin or two when visiting family in America) but the small specialty shop that stocked it closed and haven't seen it here in Ireland in years :'(
As a sort of substitute I make shoo-fly pie :D

My great aunt Norma was, among other things, a turkey farmer. My mother used to tell the story of how Norma once sent them a turkey for Thanksgiving. This was when my mother was still new to the United States and unfamiliar with Thanksgiving and turkeys. She just shoved the thing in the oven without examining it first. Norma had packed a few pounds of fresh farm butter inside the bird for shipping. The turkey came out of the oven swimming in a lake of melted butter.

;D :o
Good Gravy! ;D ;D ;D
(meant as the expression).
I do remember making one of those frozen birds that have everything but an alarm clock inside them. Kept looking for a party hat-I think the "turkey lifter" gadget was the last out.

Since it's thanksgiving, I am thankful for the day that ends in pie. ;D
There is always the 2nd most famous pumpkin pie (next to RK's Mums) at Costco 3.5lbs/1.5kg of deliciousness for $5.99, serves 12. The pie has a cult like status boasting it's own fan-made Facebook page and Twitter account. Most likely sold out by now though Maureen....sigh...boo...hiss. :P :P

Thanksgiving very quiet this year...we opted for salmon and will save the turkey for Christmas. I did make a pumpkin pie yesterday...the old standard off the E.D. Smith canned pumpkin can. It was delicious! It was suggested in Ontario we stay at home, no households intermingling. :'(

Sounds yummy Diana :) :).
