Just read the BBC guide to growing pumpkins and they say to just keep a

Now this does sound very much like growing marrows.

However with marrows you can cut them young and eat the whole thing - just
like eating courgettes.

So can you do the same with pumpkins or are they inedible until they are
fully grown and bright orange?

Last time I grew them I ate one underripe, at about half usual size.
Perfectly edible, but the more I ate the less I liked it. I forget
what sort of pumpkin it was, it was green rather than orange.

Pumpkin pie is lovely, though tbh I prefer a mix of carrot, swede and
yogurt in pumpkin pie than real pumpkin.

Thanks - at last someone who has tried it!
However it doesn't seem to score well on taste whatever the state of
development.
