What's the best thing to do with pumpkins?

[purplepoppy]

Tis the season of the pumpkin, but what shall we do with this bountiful harvest? What's your go-to pumpkin recipe to make use of the gourmet gourd?

Stuff them with stuff

Stick 'em in a stew

Cook 'em in a curry

Make soup

Pop them in a pie

Make a meaty pie

I picked pumpkin soup. I absolutely love it. My wife makes one that I could drink by the quart.

But pumpkin pie comes in a close second. The thing about pumpkin pie, though, is that few people know how to make it right. The crust and the texture of the filling is very important. And it needs lots of spices.

Put them in jail...

Or let teenagers beat the shit out of them as they rot in the street.

Pumpkin is best used in soups. I like it's taste, especially when you add carrots and some spices.

Don’t waste an opportunity

The pumpkin's versatility makes it a beloved autumn staple. One of my favorite ways to embrace its earthy sweetness is by preparing a creamy pumpkin risotto. The warm, comforting flavors blend beautifully with Parmesan cheese and a hint of nutmeg. While journeying through Italy, I once stumbled upon a charming trattoria in the heart of Florence where they served a delightful pumpkin risotto, inspiring my own version. 🍂 For a cozy dessert, pumpkin spice bread always hits the spot, soothing and aromatic with seasonal spices.

After carving a pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern for Halloween, you smash it into the ground and see how many pieces it breaks into. Then you get one of the neighborhood kids to clean up the mess... for a bag of candy. 🙈🙊🙉

Last Saturday I went to a dinner with people who live in the same house and this woman made 3 different kinds of pumpkin soup and they were all good so I'll say soup :)

[exitseven]

I decorate my porch with them.

BOO!

I love pumpkin pie, my favorite. I know several younger men who cut a hole in the pumpkin and then use it for a sex toy.

[Jerre]

@purplepoppy Thank you for the Like! And no, I’ve never done that.

[purplepoppy]

Girls have cucumbers, guys, have pumpkins.

[Jerre]

[Red_Arrow]

Use a trebuchet to hurl them into other neighborhoods!

[BetaBucks]

Lmfao legit lol

[lightbulb27]

feed them to the deer...

I do like pumpkin seeds...

pumpkin soup is ok.

[JSkye]

I voted pumpkin pie, but pumpkin curry is really good too!!

[Wiredone]

We just display the pumpkins on our front steps. They after Halloween we throw them in the woods for the deer, squirrels and other animals to eat

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Nothing at all if you want me to eat, I just can't bear the taste of pumpkins, butternut and similar 😅

[DreamCrescent]

what about yam and sweet potatoes?

i think plenty of people are of the same opinion and that’s why pumpkin is commonly masked with “spice”. like here, numb your tongue on ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon so you can’t taste the pumpkin anymore

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@DreamCrescent same issue for me with sweet potatoes ! And spices didn't help, even in amount lol

[DreamCrescent]

i think pumpkin flavor is just bleh but the spices only make it worse

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

@DreamCrescent it looks like some tastes, or distastes are of genetics origin, I don't know if pumpkin is that category for me

[OtterMan68]

since pumpkin bread is not an option, I'll go with pie

[Gwendoline]

Pie. Pumpkin is an American thing, they mad about them here

[Caroline91]

I don't think there's a bad way to cook a pumpkin. I love pumpkin anything!

[MrGSpotHer]

All of the above sounds great but I thought tis was the session of pumpkin blasting though?

[Staximus]

My grandma used to cook pumpkin soup with curry powder in it. The only thing with pumpkin in it that I liked.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Make pie, roast the seeds, and use in in lasagna.
