The scary waste of Halloween pumpkins
chinadaily.com.cn | Updated: 2019-10-25
Halloween is a time for costumes and scares.
But here's a ghoulish fact: 8 million pumpkins are thrown in the trash after Halloween in the UK. That's 18 thousand tons of edible food gone to waste.
When people make Jack-O-Lanterns out of pumpkins, they throw away the nutritious flesh inside.

I have to admit that when I carved the pumpkins for Hallowe'en back in Toronto that I threw the insides, and after Hallowe'en the pumpkins in the garbage. I never particularly liked to eat pumpkin then, but I do now.
Does anyone here actually save and use the edible contents of a Hallowe'en carved pumpkin?
We usually roast and eat the seeds but you're welcome to the pumpkin Buzz. It'll be on the front porch. The fruit flies will be disappointed though.
If you pay my return airfare and hotel bill for the necessary stay I'll be happy to come and get your pumpkin. LOL
I'll leave a check with the pumpkin Buzz.
Ah, so you think I was born yesterday. LOL
A long time ago one of my ex's tried to make a Pumpkin Pie from scratch using an actual Pumpkin. It was an awful lot of work. I assume that is part of the reason why Pumpkins go wasted at Halloween. I'm sure that's also the reason that by Thanksgiving the supermarkets sell so much canned Pumpkin Pie filling as opposed to Pumpkins.
