I seem to have come into possession of two pumpkins.
One a stereotypical orange type, the other...a different type. No clue of the difference.
Also; no clue what I do with these things.
I've never cooked pumpkin before. I've barely even eaten it.
Ideas?

Pull the guts out, carve face into it, insert candle.

There are several different species of gourds out there Tyr. I have only ever used them for fall decorations or done what Eddie suggests.

Nyet. This would fall under the category of waste which is what I wish to avoid.
Though I was sad to read on that note this morning that back home nobody carves turnips anymore

So I've been watching a cuppa youtube videos that pop up in the course of getting my Irish People Try fix, and have seen a few about "Weird Things That Americans Do."  So far they've all mentioned the American greeting of how are you doing as just the weirdest thing ever.  It's a greeting, not a real question!!! I don't get it.  All European languages that I'm familiar with have something similar. Wie gehts, ca va, como estas.  What's the difference and why are all these people treating the American greeting like a freak show?

Americans say it as an actual question right?
And its really pronounced.
We'd normally just say "Alright", I think the Irish are similar.

Maybe people don't ritualistically answer "fine" in other languages.

[Valmy]

They do in French. 'Ça va?' 'Ça va.'

Pumpkin pie or pumpkin spiced latte are the only uses known to man.

Sell it.  Now.  My experience is that the pumpkin market collapses after October.

That's odd, the only time I've ever consumed pumpkin products is Thanksgiving/Christmas.

Or the 1000's of other pumpkin spiced products out there now.

I got my kids the pumpkin pie Pop Tarts.  Surprisingly not bad.
