Potiron OT
 

My neighbour has come round to see me and brought the most amazing
Potiron from her garden, it is huge and would feed the 5,000. I will
make soup but what else can I do with it?

Cut in cubes and roast them like you would with spuds, carrots,
parsnips. Cook with your spuds and mash, add nutmeg to go with your
sausages. Save the seeds and plant them. Make a lonnnnng necklace with
the seeds to use as halloween decorations. That's what I do :o)

Wash, dry and then roast the seeds in a dry pan, when nicely done
sprinkle with soy sauce and let cool. They turn crispy and are
delicious.

RBob is a horror but I have known him for so many years that I make
allowances for him, he's lovely. Plus, he knows everything, I mean
everything about gardening.

I know some people like it but it's not for me, and as for pumpkin pie..
yuck!
Roasted it may be Ok but I doubt it comes close to a Butternut even then.
Roasted Butternut and red onions, wonderful.

Very kind, but regarding the gardening knowledge, I do hope not, my life
would have no point then. :-)
Besides, there are usually quite a few ways to do things in gardening, all
of which are correct if successful.
