Has a sandwich yesterday with pumpkin seeds on the bread.  That was nice but I'm sorry it's not exactly a recipe.

For Gawd's sake after tonight you'll forget all about bloody  pumpkins so why try & get a recipe for something that tastes like crap & is grown purely so parents can carve a silly face in it & stick a candle up its jacksy. & no, I wont be handing sweets out to any snotty nosed brats dressed up in Asda witches hats who come begging on my doorstep, I'd rather give 'em a kick up the arse.

Oh & before you ask yes I do know a recipe for left over turkey. Chuck it in a saucepan & boil it in Homepride curry sauce. There, that's knackered your Christmas posts as well.

No offence by the way.

no, we just bought a pumpkin about a week ago to try some recipes out because i've never eaten it before (nothing to do with halloween). i've tried some things but i have lots left over... and it doesn't taste like crap :)

They're excellent roast.  Big chunks round the beef or lamb with parsnips and tatties, basted with the meat juices -- yum!

 

Or roasted on their own, in chunks, dusted with chilli or paprika and cumin or other seeds.

 

Or baked and stuffed, like a marrow -- but very much better.

 

Chopped up in a stew -- put them in part-way through so they don't go too slushy.

 

Peel them first, as the outer skin can be woody.  Wash and dry the seeds for planting, or bake them dry with some spices as a snack.

 

And don't wait for Hallowe'en!  Grow them yourself and keep them into the winter.  Go for the smaller varieties, as they have more flavour -- and they're often interesting shapes and colours and so make very decorative objects to sit on the windowsill until you get around to eating them.
