    Why do you need the Cantonese? Every canned item here is labelled in English and Chinese.

    ParknShop even has cans of dog food with pumpkin in.

    Can you just buy canned pumpkin on its own?

    I don't think they meant dog good with pumpkin in it but just canned pumpkin, which I've never seen before in the UK or here so thought maybe its in chinese?! Maybe they do mean dog food with pumpkin in it....?

    Thanks, will ask at my supermarket for 'lam gao' (Isn't there a sport that sounds like this?!)

    Neither ParknShop nor Wellcome appears to sell canned pumpkin as far as I can see from their websites. I've never seen it anywhere else either (not that I've looked particularly).

    supermarkets have canned pumpkin usually in the baking section but its the one for making pumpkin pie ... so im not so sure if that's what you're looking for.
