When I was in Scotland, the ex-pats used to do Thanksgiving, and often we'd invite our Scot friends. We all made parts of the meal so we'd assign them dishes to make to. I remember one very good Scottish cook being assigned a pumpkin pie. Well, pumpkins aren't exactly shelf items there ...and you rarely find canned pumpkin. She subsituted squash thinking it would be the same. It was horrible, but we all had a laugh.
