As for the food, it is surprising how many companies are getting in on the act by changing their packaging to include a 'spooky' word just to sell, for example orange flavoured cup cakes or jam filled sponge mini-rolls. Anyway I did succumb to Mr Kipling's Fiendish Fancies and Devil Slices... well he does make exceedingly good cakes!
At last Tesco is selling pumpkin ravioli - something rival Waitrose has been doing for some years. I'll be trying it out tomorrow.
As for the New Covent Garden Soup Company - I always try out their seasonal Halloween soup, but making a lot or pumpkin soup myself, I tend to find that their soup's taste fails to live up to the excellent packaging design. Let's hope I'll be pleasantly surprised this year!
