In regards to the new item at Tesco...
Libby's canned pumpkin isn't actually a new product at at all, the company itself was founded in 1869 in Chicago. Libby's Famous Pumpkin Pie is a traditional holiday pie, the recipe of which has been on the labels of the can since the 1950's. It's something i've eaten a lot in the Mid-West and it's delicious so i'm excited to be able to make it at home now too.
