Guest guest Posted November 1, 2000 Report Share Posted November 1, 2000 Dear "bml/lmel" <bmlehmanOK- forgive me for not knowing this- but is the actual pumpkin "meat" good to eat? Are there varieties that are better for cooking and those that are better for decoration? Thanks Dear Friends, Could we please all remember to sign our names at the end of our posts? At the very least, our first name? It makes for so much more of a friendly community when we can address each other by name, "remember" each other, and it's just a polite nicety. It's not as if we are on the Animal Liberation Front list and we need to hide our identities.

Are there varieties that are better for cooking and those that are better for decoration? Thanks The entire pumpkin is safe and delicious! Pumpkin is like a squash. . . .of which we sometimes even eat the skins at our house! For the Harvest Rice Stuffed Pumpkin recipe you'll want to "clean out" the middle, taking out the strings and seeds. If you like, you can then wash the seeds and roast them and enjoy pumpkin seeds on the side (very tasty and good for you too!). I believe all varieties are good to eat, although I sometimes wonder about those cute, little decorative ones in the grocery store. I saw a recipe recently where they were used for individual, stuffed baked pumpkins, so they are probably okay too. Does anyone know? I'm enjoying the recipes!
