And I don't mean around Halloween when people do something with the middle bit. Does anyone actually go and buy a pumpkin with the primary aim of eating it?

Great food, sadly overlooked in this country. Soup, roast it, bake it, boil it, make fries out of it, mash it, curry it....
Good substitute for potato.

Halloween pumpkins are crap for eating, they're not really grown for it- watery and insipid.

Yes - roasted and mashed; in pie; in soup.

My wife's American though, and they do use it more over there.

yes, love it, particularly pumpkin and pecan pie,or pureed to add to cakes though I also roast it with garlic, make soup, and I use butternut squash or acorn squash when you can't get pumpkin, need to add quite a lot of spices as sometimes they are bland but the consistency is good and it absorbs other flavours well.

Don't eat 'lantern' pumpkins. Try other types of squash. Great for warming winter soups.

yum, can't beat pumpkin pie. for the unenlightened it is pureed pumpkin sweetened and lots of spices - cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. the perfect autumn dessert.
