Now, anyone know how to get hold >of Pumpkin soup? I can't even buy pumpkins in Cumbria (they even use >turnips for lanterns at halloween!). Oh Megan - I feel for you. I lovce pumpkin soup and also can't get pumpkins here except at Halloween. However, we can buy canned pumpkin and I have to admit that using this is MUCH easier than cooking the whole damn pumpkin and then struggling to remove the skin. Also, the water content seems to bne about right for thingsa like soup and pumpkin pie. Try searching for the canned stuff. mj Women who strive for equality with men lack ambition. http://www.communications.uci.edu/~inform/mj/arachne.html
