ANYONE CHECKED FOR LEAD?

Lead is not needed to cheat in these contests. My dad’s friend got in a bit of trouble years ago when he cheated a contest by filling his pumpkin with water.

But are they edible?
I guess you might use them to ease the housing shortage…

The large ones tend to be a bit fibrous, but they make a good wine:

I made a similar wine from some leftover decorative pumpkins one Halloweeen back in the 90s, it was decent enough, went well with the next year’s Thanksgiving turkey.
