Just out of interest , how often, if ever, do you eat any of the various pumpkins?

We eat Pumpkins too and we call them Kürbis.
I was given a small bottle of Pumkin oil which I used on salad.
How can they make oil out of pumpkins ???
You can use them in making cakes and jam and my daughter makes a delicious kürbis soup.
I used to grow those very pretty, uneatable ones

I was surprised on another forum where I posted the same question and photo, it was a UK forum and most responses were “Never”. We almost always have roast pumpkin if we are having a roast dinner, and often Jill bakes a range of veges in the oven, with a light brushing of oil and herbs. Pumpkin has the advantage of, if stored well and dry, keeping for a very long time. In the spring we plant Butternut variety in a corner garden, it grows all over our back lawn and I just mow around it. We harvest in the autumn and the pumpkins keep right through to the end of the winter.
