not in the canned vegetables aisle, but in the baking supplies aisle?
I want to try that pumpkin cheesecake that was mentioned last week.

Because it's mostly used in baked goods and not served as a vegetable. What do I win?

Thanks for all your replies, but it still makes no sense to this analytical engineer. I went to three supermakets until I found a clerk to ask the question. She knew right where it was. That's right, the first two stores I didn't search hard for a clerk. I thought that maybe because of the Halloween/Thanksgiving season that there was a shortage.
I got two cans, just to be on the safe side.
Updates forth coming on the cheesecake.

Caramel-Pumpkin Cheesecake With Gingersnap-Pecan Crust
Ingredients
12 crisp gingersnaps
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup chopped pecans
1/3 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 2/3 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup canned unsweetened pumpkin
8 tablespoons whipping cream, divided
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
3 tablespoons caramel topping
Preparation
Process first 4 ingredients in a food processor until finely ground. Add butter; pulse 8 to 10 times or until blended. Press mixture into bottom and 1 1/2 inches up sides of a 9-inch spring form pan.
Bake at 350° for 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack.
Beat cream cheese at medium speed with an electric mixer until smooth. Add granulated sugar, beating just until blended. Reserve 3/4 cup cream cheese mixture for topping; cover and chill. Add eggs, 1 at a time, to remaining cream cheese mixture, beating just until blended after each addition.
Combine pumpkin, 5 tablespoons whipping cream, and next 3 ingredients; add to cream cheese mixture, beating just until blended. Pour batter into prepared crust.
Bake at 325° for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Turn oven off. Let cheesecake stand in oven, with door closed, 1 hour. Remove from oven, and run a knife around edge of pan, and release sides. Cool on a wire rack. Soften reserved cream cheese mixture; spread evenly over cheesecake. Drizzle caramel topping over cream cheese layer; gently swirl with a knife to create a marbled effect. Cover and chill 8 hours. Store in refrigerator.

I bolded the first clue and since you figured out where the damn cans are, stop whining, buy it and go bake what the hell you were going to bake in the first place.

Better, yet, for the analytical engineer - did you know its not even pumpkin? :nerd:

Not me. I didn't post about looking for canned pumpkin, NOT asking where it was and how stupid it is to be where it is located. Get your head out of your anal canal. We all know that's where engineers keep it.

Can anyone tell me a logical reason why sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk is not found down in the dairy section?
Or why the canned spray cheese is in the snacks section, and not in the dairy/cheese section.
Huh? Huh?!?!?!?!?! :shrug:

I know...but what is in canned squash is not actually a pumpkin..at least that's the claim. Libby's claims to use a hybrid...a Dickinson..

Question: Do you put green beans, asparagus or creamed corn in your cheesecake?
Canned pumpkin goes right beside the canned pie filling fruits, which goes in the baking goods aisle.:lol:

Neither milk needs refrigerated. Plus, it has a much longer shelf life and doesn't sell well enough to be taking up valuable dairy space.
Is canned spray cheese really cheese?:lol: I'd guess it's all about convenience and selling potential. If you're passing the snack section you might be more apt to purchase canned cheese as it goes with many of the snacks. Canned cheese would just look "trailer park" beside the golden Kraft deli singles.:flowers:

The Libby's can says 100% pumpkin. If it is not pumpkin, I'll sue the bastages.
