October 26, 2006: Burger pumpkin

This irresistable burger pumpkin was first noticed at Bits and Pieces and is now so popular, it's making the rounds. B&P calls it a "Big Mac (TM) pumpkin", but fails to include the (TM), and actually it's not a B.M. at all since it has only one patty and no onions, special sauce, or middle roll. It is nevertheless the best of all comical pumpkins noticed this year.

So now, the next time I call Mrs Elspode "pumpkin buns", I can show her an example. Cool.

That's a good one. I like it.

This is pretty old now, but it's still my favorite pumkin carving.

http://www.extremepumpkins.com/ is the home of that suicidal pumpkin. ;)

Its also the home of the 2004 extreme pumpkin contest winner the Burger Pumkin. 2004, 2006 better late than never :)

I thought you lot made (desert) pumpkin pies out of the innards of the pumpkins you used for halloween?

Ah, sorry Ali. I deleted the post! Um...well, I guess you could make pie out of the cut up, roasted, mashed shell. the gooey insides aren't really good for anything 'cept grossing out your little brother or sister.

Why did you delete the post?

I thought exactly what you thought--you could use the rind even though it had been carved up. To be honest, though, I've never met anyone who ate their jack-O'lantern. I've never known anyone to collect post-Halloween pumpkins and make them into mash for the hungry, either. But, I suppose it could be done.

well at the least you could make a big pot of pumpkin soup right?

Yes! Now, why doesn't the church collect post-holiday pumpkins (for free!) and make soup for the poor? Must remember to ask my born-again classmates why this doesn't happen...

excellent! I'll be interested to see the results.

Mostly because they've been opened up and sitting around in non-sterile, non-temperature controlled environments. Food poisoning for the poor...
