Kurbis mania

Germany's answer to Halloween starts on the first of October and everything turns very quickly into a pumpkin and stays that way for a month. As we were in London this time last year we managed to avoid the Kurbis fest and avoid the takeover of our street by Kurbis people selling pumpkins in all shapes, sizes and manners. Every restaurant in the area also starts to whip up a pumpkin frenzy offering pumpkin in every dish, with everything from pumpkin pasta to pumpkin juice?? All one can do is go with the flow and swing a few pumpkins over the shoulder and hope soon that we can walk down the street without being overwhelmed by Kurbisness.
