Anyone seen a can of Libby's 100% pumpkin in London
« on: December 22, 2008, 01:22:22 PM »
Apparently, there has been a pumpkin batch shortage of some kind (says Waitrose), and I'm now desperate to find a can of Libby's 100% pumpkin for at Christmas pie.

Selfridges is sold out as well as the two Waitroses I've been to.

If anyone has seen any lately, or knows of another shop in London that sells the stuff, please let me know! I'll pay a ridiculous amount at this point.

Not Libby's, but I've seen pumpkin puree in glass jars at assorted health food shops. Alternatively, if you can find a pumpkin, it's pretty easy to make your own. For that matter, a butternut squash would probably do fine...

I remember seeing them a week ago at Waitrose in Wandsworth when I was waiting for a friend to watch a movie.  Try the online homepage and see if you can buy them off the net maybe?

I think that Harrods had it last year and Whole Foods did too.

Thanks for the replies. After a bit of research, I thought I would take a shot at Panzer's Delicatessen in St. John's Wood. They had several cans, so I stocked up. It turned out well in the end, as I wanted to make brownies for my co-workers, and needed Baker's unsweetened chocolate squares for the recipe.
I also splurged on a £6.50 box of Fruit Loops.... but it's Christmas! (and I didn't noticed the price until AFTER I got home)

Hello, I too had been searching in vain for Libby's canned pumpkin, and finally found some online at lupepintos.com in Edinburgh. My goods arrived the next day, and the pumpkin cost about £1.63 , I believe. Now if anyone knows anywhere I could get Boston baked beans or Boston brown bread that would be fantastic, cheers :)
