October 26, 2006: Burger pumpkin

Undertoad · 10-26-2006, 11:27 AM

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.

No, those are separate pumpkins. The carved ones sit on your front porch until they rot, or until the local hoodlums come by and smash them into little bits.

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.

Actually roasted pumpkin seeds are divine. Seperate the seeds out from the more gooey bits, wash them and then roast them in the oven on a jelly roll pan at around 350F. Salt to taste if you wish.

OMG...was that Goatse Pumpkin?!

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.

Aliantha · 10-27-2006, 07:48 AM

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