I was looking for canned pumpkin in the grocery store today and couldn't find it anywhere. Looked up and down the canned vegetable aisle. I was beginning to think maybe I had been teleported to Europe! Anyway, I finally found it with the pie fillings in the baking aisle. Monroe has very little imagination!!

I've never heard of canned pumpkin.
Fresh pumpkins are sold here now on a regular basis at this time of year, but it's only maybe 10 years ago they started showing up in the stores. Before that they were practically unheard of.
But canned....? Nope. Not yet, anyway.

I'm planning to go to the farmer's market tomorrow. Will look out for sweet potatoes and walnuts..... ;)

Yes, Jeff, they were scrummy. I think they used a deep fryer, but you can approximate the taste. After rinsing them, slice them very thinly, then saute them in canola oil on very high heat. I add just a little cumin. Yum.

Btw, what is an iron camp anyway?
Front-Ranger:
Yes, the name of the challenge is a little obtuse. I named it after the Iron Chef series on TV but I thought the word chef was not Brokieish enough, so I changed it to Iron Camp Cook in honor of Ennis, his iron skillet and his salt shaker.
I was just reading a restaurant review of a new place in Denver and they raved about the fried brussels sprouts. Lynne, your recipe sounds great. I usually prepare them steamed in a sweet/sour sauce, and I'm getting a little tired of that.
