Default Pumpkins - can you eat young ones?

Just read the BBC guide to growing pumpkins and they say to just keep a
couple per plant and grow them on until the outside is hard; pick before the
first frost.

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?

Cheers

Dave R
