Its so wholesome just a happy guy making pumpkin pie with his wife's pie crust she made for him

Woah! I didn't know canned pumpkin was weird in other countries. I'm so used to it, in fact I think I have a few cans of it in my cabinet right now. Anyways, great video. I love this series

The TWOCAN TOUCAN animation and idea and execution is just hilarious and brilliant and heartwarmingly gorgeous and beautiful and I'm at a loss of words honestly thank you Atomic Shrimp for making my days.

Pumpkin in a can is extremely common here on the east coast of the US; my family considers it a staple! Pumpkin pies, breads, cookies, soups etc YUMMY sweet OR savory!

As an American it seems odd to me that British folks might never have had pumpkin pie (which is actually, as you say, pumpkin custard pie). It is my favorite pie of all and I eat it year round when I can get it. By the way, you might like to check out Tasting History's episode about "pompion pie". He says he loves it possibly even more than our modern version.

I definitely wouldn't have thought to describe pumpkin pie as fruity =) This made me hungry for pumpkin pie now

ok, i've learnt pumpkin can come in cans and that it's a fruit. glad i found this channel for tidbits like this

Never had pumpkin pie myself but had pumpkin ravioli in Parma, Italy once and it was fantastic :)

I've made it both ways, from fresh pumpkin and canned pumpkin. Even though the canned pumpkin only lists pumpkin as a ingredient I swear the pie always turns out better when I use the caned stuff

I use pumpkin in chili, and soups! It's great for lots of things

A lot of canned pumpkin is actually mostly Butternut Squash but we don't talk about that.

Interesting! :) - Pumpkin Is Widely used and available here in Canada. Ohhh the Variety of different Pumpkin pies here are Fantastic! - also, "PUMPKIN SEEDS" are Great too! Place em on a Tray, Salt'em good - Bake on 350 or higher until golden browned - pumpkin Seed Chips! (I am serious). :) it tastes great.

A fine looking pie.

I love using canned pumpkin for pumpkin pie. I also love to use canned pumpkin puree or chunky canned pumpkin to make a savory, creamy, buttery fall soup with finely chopped onions. It looks really pretty served topped with toasted leaf shaped croutons and/or pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds). I love it, the rest of my family thinks it's too weird. I had a coworker that loved it, his wife was a chef so he was used to trying all sorts of different dishes.

Something I found weird about pumpkins when I was younger is that cooking pumpkins are themselves completely different from carving pumpkins. 100s of years of selective breeding just to make a gourd to hack a leering grin into. Eating pumpkins are more like cantaloupes or melons to those who don't know. Was the coolest darn thing when I watched robbaz make those pies.

The second can is more like what I see when I open a can of pumpkin. The first one was oddly thin

Just stumbled on your videos nice channel....I personally love Halloween but each to their own I guess. :)

Never seen canned pumpkin! I've seen them whole, but in my country they're mostly used for decoration (year round). I have recently used pumpkin in a fish-based dish, but I bought it in the form of fresh pumpkin cubes. Pumpkin is quite dull, so it needs some help, but with the right spices, it can be quite lovely. Be it in pie, with fish, or otherwise :P

It warms my heart to see a Brit enjoy an American favorite! I love pumpkin pie as well, but my favorite pie is egg custard. Yum! Also, sometimes try your pumpkin pie served with whipped cream!

huh as someone who lives in America, I had the exact question you would answer haha. the fact that it was in the section of the store with other "American style novelties" was fascinating. cool stuff as always Shrimp!

I had to go to the American Food Store in Copenhagen to buy canned pumpkin for Thanksgiving when I was working at Risoe National Labs.

Golly you’re basically an American now. We do love our pumpkin pie :). My family likes to have a very American dinner for Thanksgiving to remember and take pride in our American history (several pumpkin pies are prepared for the gathering).Then we have a more traditionally English dinner for Christmas to remember the family’s strong English heritage. Some day I’ll visit there and see it all for myself.

Pumpkin, and all other pie fillings, are very common in a can in USA The only ones that I haven’t seen have been blackberry and elderberry

I have so many videos to catch up with. Love this one. Autumn is the start to my favorite seasons. Not much of a summer person.

I'm from Chicago, IL, USA. My mom preferred to buy the canned versus using fresh pumpkin for making pumpkin pies. It would cut down in the steps, i.e. gutting the pumpkin. We usually make pumpkin from Halloween until Thanksgiving (November 24) or Christmas here in the States. Typically with whipped cream.

My family uses a recipe that includes cream cheese on the bottom of the pumpkin pie. It's really the ONLY way to go.

that pie looked fantastic, I think I'll try that recipe and surprise my wife with it

I love pumpkin pie... one of those things that I will make year round, use tart shells often so I can freeze them so I don't eat them all at once. Thanks again for a great video!

In australia we eat lots of pumpkin mashed pumpkin, pumpkin soap ,roast pumpkin ,pumpkin chips, can't live without pumpkins yum yum

Well made, Mr. Shrimp. Vanilla ice cream is the perfect compliment.

Here in "the States", it seems most people use either Libby's canned pumpkin or the store brand (lots cheaper and exactly the same), and it's not QUITE as...loose? watery? as what came out of your first can - its texture/thickness is much like the second can (if you're interested). I've always gone by the recipe on the back of the Libby's can and just add a bit more cinnamon and a bit less sugar along with a dollop of molasses to add depth. Great job - looks delicious!

I agree with you, it tastes more like a custard type of pie. Canned pumpkin has been available here in the US for a long time, but it sure isn't the same as fresh pumpkin. Cooking with fresh pumpkin is totally different in taste and texture, yummy..

Mmmmm pumpkin pie! The more I read the comments, the more pumpkin looks like a non-word.

that pie looks divine

I may try your recipe. I love pumpkin pie!!

In case anyone is considering making pie out of fresh pumpkin, you don't use the large jack-o-lantern type pumpkin, you use the small round 'sugar pumpkins.'

If you've never tried it pumpkin curry is amazing.

Excellent!

If you like pumpkin pie, you should try sweet potato pie. It's even better

Interesting video! Loved it. Thanks for sharing =D

Ah, you have been in the "special section", say no more :-)

Like the whisking action. Going to grow pumpkin next year (again) and make pumpkin pie. Could try it this year by saving a pumpkin from being ditched after the All Hallows’ bit like save a turkey eh? My tummy is rumbling!

You learn something new every day. Didn't think that Pumpkin Pie in a can would be so weird in the UK. By the way, for more of a custard type filling, add an additional egg or two.

England is a place where you can be safe from pumpkin spice

Can get that even in the off season here in Canada, canned specially as pie filling.

We have the same whisk

Fun fact. Nutmeg in high concentrations is a hallucinogen :)

Pumpkin is glorious in dessert and savory applications both Chunks of pumpkin in soups and stews 🤩

It's very common here in the states. People usually make it for Halloween and Thanksgiving. You can buy canned pumpkin, which you make into a pie filling, or you can buy cans of ready made pie filling which I think you just dump in the crust as is and bake. Also, around those holidays bakeries and supermarkets have baked pies available. Another thing to try, and that I really like, is pumpkin cheese cake. You should be able to find recipes online. Something else you can do is make sweet potato pie. You use sweet potatoes or yams (or whatever they're called in the UK). Just follow the pumpkin pie recipe substituting the yams for the pumpkin. The resulting pie is very similar in appearance and taste.

I like making this into smoothies.

Some times, there are not enough pumpkins to fill the need. When they run our, they use butternut squash to make ends meet...

pumpkins are great. especially in pie form.

Wow it would be hard for me in the uk as Fall to me is all about the canned pumpkin dishes like pie, pumpkin bread muffins, etc. As soon as October hits my mom and are in the kitchen baking away. That said you can’t beat fresh sugar pumpkins for things like soup.

with all due respect to The Great British Bake-Off, it's very pleasant to see a brit being a bit more respectful and appreciative of American pies. So what if they're sweet? There's nothing wrong with a sweet pie!!!

Great for making pumpkin fritters too.

6:58 Hey, your head's in frame! That's new.

My mom makes a blender pie where you use the canned pumpkin and bisquik mix and blend it all. The crust separates in the oven during baking

Condensed milk instead of cream will give a better result.

After living 20 years in (continental) Europe, this is the first year I've given up on making pumpkin pie. I'm the only one who ever eats it, and everyone here turns up their nose at it. Bit sad really. (Nice that J made the crust for you 👌).

Finally something I've actually eaten

I love pumpkin. I like to cut up the small ones and bake them with olive oil, salt and pepper, and garlic with a bit of cayenne pepper

I love pumpkin pie but I have to admit that I’ve never had it for Halloween

If you like this you need to try sweet potato pie. I grew up eating that, rather than pumpkin. It has a richer, deeper, more earthy flavor that beats pumpkin every time. My folks migrated from the American South and sweet potato pie is something special!

We use acorn squash. Haven't eaten the stuff in a can in years. We a lot of it between September and December. One of the joys of Fall. We live in Southern Wisconsin, USA.

never seen a pumpfkin puree can in germany sadly. perfect amount for single households, but we got only those truckwheel size pumpkins for extended familys above 20 persons. (or one person with a big empty freezer and nothing more to eat than a month than pumpkin-related dished)

While you can find here in North America year round on the shelf, in the US, the stores over stock it for the Thanksgiving holiday as its a common to serve then. If you have never had it, I really recommend giving it try.

Pumpkin jam, pumpkin soup, roasted pumpkin seeds, etc., all pretty common around here. Never seen raw pumpkin canned, though; it's so easy to get fresh that there's no point.

Pumpkin pie works really well with a graham cracker crust as well.

Not common at all in Portugal. I don't think I would find canned pumpkin in just a general supermarket or food store. We do use fresh pumpkin in soups and some typical pastries, but I guess not enough to have it canned in the supermarket? Actually, I am not even sure I've ever tasted pumpkin pie... I should make one! Have you ever tasted Portuguese canned goods, pastries or sweets? Great video as always! Thank you for the entertainment, especially in these rough times. I hope you and your family are safe and healthy.

It wouldn't be a roast dinner here, in Australia , without roasted pumpkin and potatoes. Many kids 1st veges were mashed potato and pumpkin mixed together.

I hate the way people carve the inside of the pumpkin and throw it away. I make a delicious spicy coconut & curry pumpkin soup out the the carvings. Goes down great at bonfire night parties too

For Halloween i make the filling for pumpkin pie ,but instead of using pie crust , I take sugar cookie dough and line muffin tins with the sugar cookie dough , then fill with pumpkin pie filling and bake . My version of Harry Potter pumpkin pasties

I see you had swedish glace vegan ice cream. My favourite.

My wife buys canned pumpkin regularly and mixes it with the dog's food. Turns out it's good for canine digestion.

Where I live its actually more common to find canned pumpkin than fresh pumpkin for pumpkin pie.

My girlfriend makes pumpkin bread with this, it's delicious. Exact same concept as banana bread. Need to try make it with the raw ingredients some time.

I've never had pumpkin. Looking at recipes pumpkin curry looks interesting also pumpkin flatbread. 🤔

Don’t know if it would make a difference, but in my family we always let the pie sit and cool at least overnight before eating

If you don't particularly like pie crust (or just are not great at making one), you can follow the same recipe, and pour it into to a greased dish and bake as instructed. You will have a lovely pumpkin custard at the end.

Canned pumpkin is completely normal where I live. We use it to make pumpkin pies and truffles.

Could we get the recipe for the pie pastry? It looks great!

You can make pumpkin into a delicious soup (think hubbard or other winter squash) Pumpkin from a can is equally good for pie- or even better really. That is a LOT of nutmeg , Sir. lol

In America we take that slice of pie and encase it whipped cream. We are very good at spoiling ourselves with certain foods. For that reason it is eaten 3 months out of the year

I'm British and have never tried pumpkin, let alone pumpkin pie

I've never heard of canned pumpkin. Where I live you can buy it fresh all year round.

I love this stuff. It's in the world food aisle of my supermarket before i moved house. I can't find it now :/

Cilantro...cries in American 🥧

"a ha'teaspoonful of ground mixed spice" uses mounded teaspoonful

The pie looked great.....here in the states I’ve never used anything but canned pumpkin......very odd don’t you think

I love pumpkin pie, its very popular in the united states. I think the quintessential american topping is whipped cream for pumpkin pie and ice cream for apple pie. I would guess that many people from all across the states would be in agreement, which is pretty rare for food preferences of US states. Not that putting ice cream on it is bad or anything lol, its just interesting to note the cultural history. I really enjoy mincemeat pie, though I've only had it a few times and never with actual meat. Do you see variations with meat in them more commonly over there? I'd love to see you rendition of one

it common here in u s.. but noone i know buys it unless its fall time

Yummy Scrummy. Where did you get the tins from? None of our local supermarkets seem to stock it. Infact, the young man in a well known supermarket beginning with an ‘A’ looked at me like I’d just landed from Mars when I asked? In all fairness, most people look at me like I’ve just landed from another planet. This was just another one of those incidents!! Loving your videos from Mudford Sock in Somerset UK

Mike did you taste any difference between canned and fresh pumpkin in your pumpkin pies?

evaporated milk or heavy cream or half and half is used in pies in the US. condensed milk is sweet

Pumpkin is a fruit, not a vegetable. In the States pumpkin was a seasonal food staple but with freezing and canning it is year round and can be served as a dessert in pie or custard or as a savory side dish like a winter squash or soup.

What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?

TIL that pumpkin is a fruit. Its always firmly in the vegetable category for me. Probably bc I don't like pumpkin pie but do like more savoury things like pumpkin ravioli and pumpkin soup.

LOLOLOL, the idea that pumpkin in a can is not a usual item in the rest of the Western world never occurred to me. That's such a ridiculously common item that makes far superior pumpkin pie to a fresh pumpkin. Even chefs will use canned pumpkin for pumpkin pie the majority of the time for pies. How can we get ya'll on the canned pumpkin train, Euros? A little heavy on the spices and you should cover the top with foil to keep it from browning so much, but otherwise, nailed it.

Pumpkin is super popular in the US. Is it harder to grow in the U.K. or is the flavor just not popular? My friend in Quebec was telling me pumpkin pie isn’t common there but they do eat it as soup, etc.

Was it much different to fresh pumpkin? was it as good as?
