When I was young we used to cut our hands to shreds trying to hollow out a swede for Halloween, Today the pumpkin seems to have firmly overtaken the swede as the vegetable of choice for the jacko’lantern. (unsurprisingly – it is much easier to carve!) There are so many pumpkins around this Halloween; It made me wonder what British people do with all the pumpkin flesh left over. Do we make it into pumpkin pies and soups like our American counterparts? Or is it just thrown away
