However pumpkins that are good for carving and sold for that purpose are not as good tasting as a sweet pumpkin or pie pumpkin. If they have bins of pumpkins, the bin with the big pumpkins are not designed for eating, the bins of the smaller ones usually are pie pumpkins.

About pumpkin recipes, I find that most are too heavily spiced for my liking. I use no more than one teaspoon cinnamon and I add some vanilla for sweetness. I don't use commercial pumpkin pie spice.

And yeah, I know they won't be as sweet and yummy as say sugar pumpkins which are meant for eating, but I thought it'd be worth a try.

Status: offline 		Pumpkin soup is awesome.  Puree the pumpkin pulp, add chicken broth, curry powder,  green onions, green pepper, salt, garlic, cayenne pepper and half and half. You may also add cut up chicken or any other veggies you wish.  Great soup!

HAHA you just had to go there.

What he didn't tell you is that it's probably just as slimy.
