Pumpkin Soup

Post by Claude »

I don't particularly like pumpkin, but, the soup I can tolerate.
Cheers, Claude.

You'd better LOVE the soup if you're to convert that to the pot! But don't worry, it seems the cattle might get first pickings of the pumpkin!

PS: If Dale left that growing for a year or two more, Cinderella wouldn't need a godmother to magically convert it into a carriage!

A friend of mine recently prepared Roast butternut squash and red onion with tahini and za'atar with pumpkin instead of butternut squash (simply because the pumpkin was available). It was delicious!
Best wishes,
Hans

Is a pumpkin that large (743 kilograms) even edible?? :scratch:

Such large pumpkins are probably very fibrous (otherwise they'd collapse), so probably they won't taste good...

In one of the articles in this thread it mentioned that the previous winning pumpkin from a past fair was given to the cattle to eat. So in THAT sense, its edible.
