Hehe, yeah. We don't celebrate Thanksgiving in Australia, unfortunately... and I've never seen a pumpkin pie in any stores around here. I didn't even realise it was a sweet dish until my workmate informed me this morning!! I always thought it was a savoury one... hehehe
Speaking of Australians and pumpkin pie. Another Australian PPTer and I had a conversation about it while I was trying to come up with ideas for what the characters in the story I was writing should eat for dinner:
Me: Should there be a third vegetable
Me: And if so, what?
Alex: Pumpkin.
Me: Pumpkin?!
Alex: Well you have roasted potatoes
Alex: Why not roasted pumpkin?
Me: Because we only eat that in pie!
Alex: o.O
Alex: Who the hell has pumpkin PIE!?
Me: Everyone in America on Thanksgiving
Me: It's tradition!
Alex: o.o
Alex: Freaks.
