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
It's just because it's used for pumpkin pie and it's a very American thanksgiving/fall food, not really eaten anywhere else. In Poland we do eat pumpkin sometimes just not make a pie out of it :)
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!
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.
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.
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.
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'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
Quinn Ink Shhhhhh! Seriously though, if you’re worried, you can just check the ingredients and make sure you’re getting real pumpkin but they don’t taste any different after cooking anyway.
C J Yeah but who defines what’s not dangerous. I always heard that the ingredients label existed for people with food allergies so danger is a total case by case basis thing. Granted if you’re allergic to butternut squash your probably also allergic to pumpkin.
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.
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.
It was a bit watery, which is just excess water from the pumpkin. They didn't do a good job of filtering the puree. When I make puree from scratch, I have to filter the water out with a sieve.
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
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.
Another American here. Ilove pumpkin as a vegetable or in savory dishes, but I have never liked pumpkin pie at all. Adding sweetener to what is intrinsically sweet, like sugaring fruit / berries or that sweet potato muck with brown sugar and marshmallows is a crime against food and your health.
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!
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.
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!!!
A reply to an old comment but it's so funny you say this because as I was watching this I was thinking "remember that gbbo episode where Paul called American pies too sweet?!?" This probably as he's judging something with crust hard enough to use as a shoe so it keeps meat juice in
Both of you are acting like fruit pies don't exist in England- they absolutely do, and are usually staples more so than meat pies for most people. American 'pies' ate weird because they're essentially a tart or a flan but with an aggressively sweetened weirdly smooth/syrupy filling- our pies are both enclosed and not particularly sweet as much as fruity, so the idea of American pies is strange and off putting unless you have an incredibly sickly sweet tooth.
@@gabsofine I don't think you've ever had a decent pie and that's a shame. Good steak pies have a crust that melts in your mouth, a rich ale sauce and tender flavourful steak. They're insanely good.
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!
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.'
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!
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..
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've never understood why Americans call sweet potato 'yam'. A yam is an entirely different vegetable with a very different appearance, texture, and taste.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Condensed milk instead of normal milk also makes scrambled eggs taste a whole lot better too, in my experience. I also add a few chili flakes, to give my scrambled eggs a bit more 'punch'.
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
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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 👌).
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
Mince pies are great and I hope you have many more in the future! Tbh most people in the UK aren't even aware they used to actually have meat in, and despite specifically looking out for them I've yet to see one here! Some small local bakeries might do a batch or two as curiosities around Christmas, but I haven't come across any yet! Best bet is probably making your own, I know there's a few recipes floating around the web.
I woulf have loved to know the difference of the canned pumpkin pie as compared to the fresh pumpkin one. I love pumpkin pie, but where I live now I don't have access to the canned pumpkin and I'm just not sure about trying to make one from fresh pumpkin.
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
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
Here in the U.S. Pumpkin in a can comes in 2 different types that I have found. Spiced and unspiced. My vet recommended I buy the unspiced for my cats and some will eat it and some won't.
I meant to add that when my mother made pie, she added cinnamon, nutmeg and a tsp or two of lemon juice to the pie. We also traditionally added whipped cream to the top of the pie quite often, or a meringue topping with an additional sprinkle of cinnamon & nutmeg on top.
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.
Where I live pumpkin is an exclusively savoury food, never seen it in a can either 😅 but I've heard of pumpkin pie and such from American movies of course. But pies here are also a savoury thing haha
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.
Interesting "oven" compared to Canadian "stovetops & ovens" -- your oven looked very smaĺl though.... and ur elements on the stove top looked big. Is it a GAS/Propane or electric?
@@dagashannon1505 - I've got a gas stove and an electric oven. Although I have one on top of another, you can separate them as well - many have this as you can have the oven higher up
I never would of thought that this was uncommon in other places of the world. In maine, it's everywhere. It's not even seasonal, and theres so many brands.
Interesting. My family has only used One Pie brand for ages, and that's from Maine. The more popular national brand is Libby's, and those are the only two brands I'm aware of. I'm sure the product inside is virtually identical but the RECIPE on the back of the One Pie can is far, far better. Ginger and a bit of molasses are two essential ingredients not in the Libby's recipe as I recall.
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.
If you're going to do that see if you can find pie pumpkins because the ones used for Halloween have been hybridized to be larger and they have a much higher water content. Like it says in one of the above comments, the pumpkins used for making pies from scratch are about the size of a cantaloupe and are heavy for their size. Take care, they are HARD to peel. Try baking them with the rind on after cutting them in quarter and cleaning out the seeds.
It's not cilantro, it's ground coriander seed, but that's also quite unusual for a UK 'mixed spice' blend - they are usually: nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, ginger, allspice
@@RFC3514 In the US, cilantro is the name for the plant's leaves and stem, while coriander is the name for its dried seeds. Internationally, the leaves and stems are called coriander, while its dried seeds are called coriander seeds.
@SILentjudgmENT - It's not a matter of "internationally". One word is English, the other is Spanish. Both mean "coriander". If you go to a Spanish-speaking country (or if you talk to Spanish speakers inside the USA), both are "cilantro", and neither is "coriander". It's the name of the plant (coriandrum sativum), not any specific _part_ of it. If a recipe doesn't specify which part to use, it generally means leaves (both in English and Spanish). The seeds are generally explicitly described as such (coriander seeds / semillas de cilantro).
Its so wholesome just a happy guy making pumpkin pie with his wife's pie crust she made for him
IKR
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
Same here.
It's like he said, Brits don't eat a lot of pumpkin. It's very much a Thanksgiving season food and they don't celebrate that in Europe.
It's just because it's used for pumpkin pie and it's a very American thanksgiving/fall food, not really eaten anywhere else. In Poland we do eat pumpkin sometimes just not make a pie out of it :)
My aunt moved to Ireland from the US. I know she has to search a bit for a can when she bakes one around Thanksgiving, but she always finds it.
pumpkin itself is fairly unusual here in the Netherlands, let alone canned pumpkin :)
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!
I'm also from the east coast but have never seen canned pumpkin before. Must be a regional thing
Yes I even use pumpkin as an ingredient in my homemade dog treats. I'm on the East coast too - South Carolina
add it to some cornbread. trust me.
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.

I love pumkin seeds! Im from the uk and when we carve pumpkins, we make sure to keep the seeds to roast
@@pogpogpurinn I eat loads of them seeds :D
Sometimes I just air dry the seeds, they taste good too.
Sprinkle them with smoked paprika and salt.
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'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
I definitely wouldn't have thought to describe pumpkin pie as fruity =) This made me hungry for pumpkin pie now
A lot of canned pumpkin is actually mostly Butternut Squash but we don't talk about that.
Quinn Ink
Shhhhhh!
Seriously though, if you’re worried, you can just check the ingredients and make sure you’re getting real pumpkin but they don’t taste any different after cooking anyway.

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
Mince pies are great and I hope you have many more in the future! Tbh most people in the UK aren't even aware they used to actually have meat in, and despite specifically looking out for them I've yet to see one here! Some small local bakeries might do a batch or two as curiosities around Christmas, but I haven't come across any yet! Best bet is probably making your own, I know there's a few recipes floating around the web.
I've never had pumpkin. Looking at recipes pumpkin curry looks interesting also pumpkin flatbread. 🤔
I woulf have loved to know the difference of the canned pumpkin pie as compared to the fresh pumpkin one.
I love pumpkin pie, but where I live now I don't have access to the canned pumpkin and I'm just not sure about trying to make one from fresh pumpkin.
I've never heard of canned pumpkin. Where I live you can buy it fresh all year round.
Great for making pumpkin fritters too.
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.
evaporated milk or heavy cream or half and half is used in pies in the US. condensed milk is sweet
Yes, usually the recipe is sweetened condensed milk here in US
that pie looks divine
The pie looked great.....here in the states I’ve never used anything but canned pumpkin......very odd don’t you think
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
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
This was found in Sainsbury's, but I'm pretty sure I have seen it in Tesco too. Look for the "world foods' section
Was it much different to fresh pumpkin? was it as good as?
Here in the U.S. Pumpkin in a can comes in 2 different types that I have found.
Spiced and unspiced.
My vet recommended I buy the unspiced for my cats and some will eat it and some won't.
I meant to add that when my mother made pie, she added cinnamon, nutmeg and a tsp or two of lemon juice to the pie. We also traditionally added whipped cream to the top of the pie quite often, or a meringue topping with an additional sprinkle of cinnamon & nutmeg on top.
@@f.k.burnham8491 oh yeah! Whipped cream is a must!
Well, to be fair, cats are obligate carnivores; they don't exactly have a taste for greenery (or orangery, in this case).
Mike did you taste any difference between canned and fresh pumpkin in your pumpkin pies?
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.
Where I live pumpkin is an exclusively savoury food, never seen it in a can either 😅 but I've heard of pumpkin pie and such from American movies of course. But pies here are also a savoury thing haha
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.
It's got seeds in - definitely technically a fruit, but culturally a vegetable
Anyone who doesn't like Halloween has let their inner child die.
I may try your recipe. I love pumpkin pie!!
Could we get the recipe for the pie pastry? It looks great!
What do you get if you divide the circumference of a pumpkin by its diameter?
Interesting "oven" compared to Canadian "stovetops & ovens" -- your oven looked very smaĺl though.... and ur elements on the stove top looked big. Is it a GAS/Propane or electric?
Gas stove top (runs on mains gas), electric oven - my preference (both options are available here)
@@AtomicShrimp wow!! Never heard of it! Never seen one as a combo?! Here, its either propane, gas, induction, - never combo. - But What a GREAT IDEA!
@@dagashannon1505 - I've got a gas stove and an electric oven. Although I have one on top of another, you can separate them as well - many have this as you can have the oven higher up
Canned pumpkin is a normal thing in the US, but it's at least twice as thick as what you have in the video. More like stiff mashed potatoes.
I'm British and have never tried pumpkin, let alone pumpkin pie
I never would of thought that this was uncommon in other places of the world. In maine, it's everywhere. It's not even seasonal, and theres so many brands.
Interesting. My family has only used One Pie brand for ages, and that's from Maine. The more popular national brand is Libby's, and those are the only two brands I'm aware of. I'm sure the product inside is virtually identical but the RECIPE on the back of the One Pie can is far, far better. Ginger and a bit of molasses are two essential ingredients not in the Libby's recipe as I recall.
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.
If you're going to do that see if you can find pie pumpkins because the ones used for Halloween have been hybridized to be larger and they have a much higher water content. Like it says in one of the above comments, the pumpkins used for making pies from scratch are about the size of a cantaloupe and are heavy for their size. Take care, they are HARD to peel. Try baking them with the rind on after cutting them in quarter and cleaning out the seeds.
American pumpkin spice doesn't have cilantro in it.
It's not cilantro, it's ground coriander seed, but that's also quite unusual for a UK 'mixed spice' blend - they are usually: nutmeg, cinnamon, clove, ginger, allspice
"Cilantro" is just "coriander" in Spanish.
@@RFC3514
In the US, cilantro is the name for the plant's leaves and stem, while coriander is the name for its dried seeds. Internationally, the leaves and stems are called coriander, while its dried seeds are called coriander seeds.
@SILentjudgmENT - It's not a matter of "internationally". One word is English, the other is Spanish. Both mean "coriander".
If you go to a Spanish-speaking country (or if you talk to Spanish speakers inside the USA), both are "cilantro", and neither is "coriander". It's the name of the plant (coriandrum sativum), not any specific _part_ of it.
If a recipe doesn't specify which part to use, it generally means leaves (both in English and Spanish). The seeds are generally explicitly described as such (coriander seeds / semillas de cilantro).
Also in USA it would never have dill.
Isnt pumpkin a squash and not so much a fruit?
It's both. It contains seeds, so technically a fruit
Pumpkin is technically winter squash. I've used other winter squash and it tastes the same(much more available in Australia).
Finally something I've actually eaten
