BIG Holiday Thread

Pumpkin pie just came out of the oven. Recipe says allow to cool but that's never going to happen it smells too nice to wait. As soon as we've eaten our cassoulet It's getting served with some vanilla ice cream.

Was it difficult to make like cheesecake can be for novices?

I didn't realise you were Australians.

It’s right-side up on my phone, are you seeing them upside-down?

I'm seeing the first one upside down. Cute looking family though bro, the 2nd oldest has a really cheeky grin.

Yeah, that’s my 3yo. He’s a hellion, for sure.

I didn't find it difficult to make at all. The colour was attractive and it smelled and tasted pretty good. I have to say all three of us found the texture to be unusual. Almost like eating mashed potato in a pudding. I'd have to have another slice before I decide whether I'll make it again.
I've always been curious because pumpkin is seen as a savoury food over here and most people only use it for roasted butternut squash soup.

Did you use Pie Pumpkins

[Montegriffo]

I used a homegrown butternut squash.

I used a homegrown butternut squash.

No such thing as a fucking ‘pie pumpkin’.

Would the texture be any different if I'd used pumpkin instead of squash? I've never really liked the taste of the big jack o lantern type pumpkins.

However it's made, pumpkin pie in America is fucking delicious.

Pie pumpkins are not those big ol' jack-o-laterns. They are smaller and can usually can be boiled.
