Umm,
Canned pumpkin may be hard to find but a lot of people do eat pumpkin. Brits
have seen it as animal fodder in the past but it's had a resurgence in British
cooking of late. Australians will eat it roasted (with the roast meat &
potatoes, etc...), mixed with mash potatoes, in scones, and in soup.
In Thailand, I've eaten small pumpkins containing a steamed coconut custard
(sangkaya?). Very tasty.
Cheers,
Drake.
