Yes. I don't have any ideal locations, unfortunately.

Gosh.

I am sorry to hear that. I have a daughter that is, but she is
an unrepentant carnivore.

Those REALLY don't grow outside in the UK. I like the drier,
less sweet white ones, not the butternut-like orange ones.

Please post. I am sure that other people would be interested.

I like pumpkin soup, but it includes only pumpkin, stock (bacon
for choice, if not too salty), tomatoes, onions and chillis or
mustard (roughly in that order). A similar pie filling is good,
too.
