Want to make a gramma pie like my dear old mum used to make when I was a
kid. However I'm having trouble tracking down a gramma - I've tried Vic
Market (Melb) but the vendors look non-plussed when I mention it. I recall
that a gramma looked like a butternut pumpkin, but is that what it is? Or
is it something different? Google hasn't helped


hey claude
how are you searching in google? i found lots of gramma pie recipes,
australian, and it's mostly described as an aussie version of pumpkin pie.
also found this definition in the Australian National Dictionary:

gramma n. a type of pumpkin.

1866 Henning Letters 97 Plum-pudding, roley-puddings made of gramah-jam,
beefsteak pies and puddings I am quite clever at.

1960 Rumsey Seed Catalogue (Sydney) GRAMMA – TROMBONE, thick flesh,
special strain for market 2/8 [1 oz.]

Notes: Predating AND 1964.

hope your pie tastes great!
