A recurring question during the time that I have been in the UK relates to the significant absence of pumpkin. It appears that once Halloween is over, it becomes virtually impossible to source any pumpkin other than butternut (which, incidentally, is called butternut squash over here). If one is lucky enough to find one, it's barely big enough to feed a person for more than one meal, and will cost you a fortune for the privilege.
Although this is not strictly a travel story, it does specifically relate to my time in the UK. I removed the skin from my knuckle whilst peeling said pumpkin for Christmas lunch today. Small, expensive pumpkin, plus blood, does not a tasty lunch make.
