Pumpkins For Polio
What to do with a 600 kg pumpkin when the competition is over?
Pumpkins are traditionally associated with both Halloween, and American Thanksgiving so there is a myriad of recipes on the internet.
But apparently the "giant" pumpkin variety is intended as stock food and is probably tasteless and stringy. However should you have a nice edible pumpkin available a quick "Google" will find recipes for Pumpkin Soup, Muffins, Cake, Pie, Cupcakes, Cheesecake, Bread, Cookies, and the Pumpkin Roll (pictured) that is so easy that even your editor managed a reasonable result!!
