On vintage pumpkin puree
In 1974, the Canadian government mandated that food labels from Quebec must be bilingual.
In 2009, to mark Canadian Thanksgiving, we made a pie out of this tin of pumpkin puree, imported from Montreal.
That the label on the tin was monolingual was not promising. Might it be 35 years old? we wondered. Quite possibily. But pumpkin puree is not frequently available in the UK. And so far, at least, none of us have botulism.
