Word of the Day: Tin

Word: Tin
Definition: Can
Usage: Do you have any pumpkin in a tin?

We attempted to make pumpkin pie yesterday in celebration of Thansgiving. In doing so, we realised that we actually need pumpkin. These stores were absolutely confused on what we were asking when we asked “can of pumpkin”. Eventually someone asked, “oh, pumpkin in a tin? Never heard of that before.” The rest of the day, we were in search, in futility, for “pumpkin in a tin”.

We never found the pumpkin in a tin, but am happy to say that we enjoy tuna in a tin, peaches in a tin, mandarin oranges in a tin, and of course…kippers in a tin.

Not sure if I understand what you mean by can of Pumpkin. Do you mean pumpkin in a tin?
