[Finance] Pumpkins

[crodonilson]

I know there are plenty of contributors on here who are huge fans of this spooky time of year with Halloween season upon us, and when they go down to their local greengrocers they might be in for a fright. Pumpkin prices have rocketed this year after a severe shortage due to climate change and the increased number of slugs in attendance across our many farmers fields.

Britain is hit by a pumpkin SHORTAGE just weeks before Halloween

Pumpkin crops have been devastated, with the orange gourds wiped out completely in some places, according to the National Trust.

The year will also end with more misery as early indications are that the price of butterball turkeys could be up as much as 25% on last year due to the weather conditions across the globe and increased cost of feed and maintenance.

I like pumpkin pie and pumpkin beer.
Spent 5 days in New York a few years back and the array of pumpkin craft ales was superb

What about Spiced Pumpkin Latte? The nation has gone absolutely bonkers for them.

Not for me. Pumpkin pie has got to be the most disgusting food I've ever eaten.

We went to the Pumpkin farm at Poynings last year and had Pumpkin chips. They were basically like Sweet Potato chips but a bit more soggy.

I'm not endorsing it but you mean pumpkin spice latte. There's no pumpkin flavour it's just the same spices septics put in the eponymous pie.
