At £21/$34 for a medium-sized pumpkin, I think we’ll borrow my friend B’s brilliant idea of carving watermelons instead – much more fun, anyway, thanks to their red glow!
Possibly the most expensive vegetable ever, this is on sale at our local supermarket. If you carved it, you’d have to make pie too. The good news for those of us in Dubai is I hear pumpkins are much cheaper at Park ‘n’ Shop, Union Co-op and, of course, the fruit & veg market
Wow! Are they that expensive every year?
At this particular supermarket, I think so! But much cheaper if you shop around and I do think a watermelon glowing red might look more scary!
Wow! I’m sure they’re that expensive in Seoul, too, but I haven’t really looked, since no one in my family seems to be very interested in carving one…sob…
Carve one anyway, Ms Caroline! Put it on the blog and we’ll all appreciate it! (and I bet your boys would love it too, even if teenagers pretend not to?)
At that price, you’d expect to get it expertly carved, decorated, and hand delivered on a gold tray!!
Exactly! With gold teeth maybe!
