Hi everyone!
I'm pumpkin carving with the kids today and started wandering if pumpkin is something the piggies could eat?
I always end up with tons of it just being thrown out!

Can't advise on the piggy question but we always turn our left-overs into pumpkin puree soup, and gosh is it delicious :wub:

I've always thought about this but I've not like pumpkin in the past so been wary to try! Does it taste the same as a soup as it does raw? Eager to try if I think ill like it😂

I wouldn't eat it raw 😊 If you like roast veg or soup made from butternut squash or sweet potato, it's in that family of tastes for me..
 
I love pumpkin soup and grow my own pumpkins to make it. Some types of pumpkin taste better than others. I prefer Jack O'lantern for flavour. Pumpkin is good for bulking up a stew.
 
Technically they can have it, but whether they want it or not is another issue! I got the "you are trying to poison us" reproachful look when I offered some to my two piggies a couple of years ago.
 
I've tried mine with it several times in the past but it's never gone down well. This year the pumpkin innards will be blended and used to make low fat doggy treats for the wawas x
 
We grew pumpkins one year - we had no idea that we were doing it wrong.
However, the biggest one was about 11lb, most of the others were between 3 - 8lb.
We ended up with over 120lb of pumpkins.
Friends and neighbours shared and I made a lot of pumpkin soup - and some chutney
