 Pumpkins can be used for more than making pies and carving jack-o-lanterns. Argentineans cook a meat stew in a hollowed-out pumpkin, with the flesh of the pumpkin thickening the broth.
In Spain and Mexico, pumpkin seeds are roasted or fried, and then salted; along these same lines, pumpkin seeds coated with soy sauce and olive oil and toasted in your oven are an addictive snack.
