I can’t understand the obsession with pumpkins with you guys ‘over the pond’. In the U.K. hardly anyone ever cooks with them, we never eat pumpkin pie. They are just round orange objects that appear in the shops and people think they should buy one to display for one day – Halloween.
Following on from GeorgieMoon’s comment, I think pumpkins have only appeared here in the UK relatively recently, in response to them being used as Hallowe’en decorations. Probably most people who carve them to make a lantern end up throwing away the insides!
Only certain types of Pumpkins are meant for eating! I’ll be doing a post in it! October is all about Fall and Pumpkins. That would include the month of November too!
