Oh Lord, let's not even go into the 'food wasting' business. It got really ugly the last time this came up.
Naturally, I took all my pumpkin guts and donated them to the local food bank.0 -
0. Learned this when I went to a pumpkin patch a few weeks ago - the pumpkins we carve are not meant for eating, cooking pumpkins look different.0

Yes, Miley Cyrus' secret name is totally John :laugh: :laugh:
Anyway, I always make pie from the leftovers and put he seeds in feeders. Squirrels eat the seeds.
I've seen it used plenty at other forums I go to, though. Just guess others haven't stumbled upon it -shrug-0 -
Don't mind him. He's been cranky ever since he started this cut. Bad Bacon! Get back in my basement!0 -

This is the same as people being sad about Christmas trees getting cut down. Christmas trees are grown on farms, by humans, for other humans to cut down and decorate.
Let us not shed tears for the pumpkins.0 -
how about none? Do you think they would grow this many pumpkins for eating?
Yeah, I'd love to see how many people are looking for pumpkins in June for food. Or December. Or any other non-October months. These pumpkins are made for Fall decorations, Carving, Smashing, and whatever the people who purchase them want to do with them.
I buy canned pumpkin for cooking year round if I want it.0 -

Not sure, but I think its a name for someone who likes to make out with construction equipment naked and put her rear end on furries. As in: "You freak! Put down that hammer down and quit being such a Miley Cyrus".0 -
At my house: zero.
I buy a few pie (yes the small ones) pumpkins the day before Halloween (yesterday) and carved them last night.
The seeds get made into snacks today
Tomorrow I'll take the little Jack-o-lanterns and finish carving them up into chunks, keep them moist until Saturday, then they'll go into the oven drizzled with honey to be roasted and eventually end up in my homebrewed Pumpkin-spice Ale.0 -
None. Pumpkins aren't food. Awful, disgusting, vile "fruit" that it is. Best to cut it up and light the night than fill my mouth with its dreadful taste.
QFT! I couldn't agree more! I actually don't even carve ours, because the stench when you cut it open makes me ill. :sick: I have a nice pretty electric light up one that I put in our window to let the Halloweeners know we have treats.
And as others have mentioned carving/decoration pumpkins are NOT for eating. Pumpkins for eating look completely different - tho still taste vile (pumpkin pie makes me gag).0 -
The fact that they are inedible is irrelevant...unless the land used to grow and manpower to cultivate them could not have been used to grow something else...0

*ETA: Image too wide; it says, "So you're telling me that you carve faces in your food and leave it outside to rot?"0 -
