Giant pumpkin contest!!

Recommended Posts

Dude come on. I'm in the lower south island of new zealand where its pretty fucking cold, my patch is tiny and have only grown one small pumpkin in my life. I am not actually expecting to win here! I'm doing it for the lols and the pumpkin bounty.

I'm thinking of all the pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, fuck i'd even consider trying to make a pumpkin alcohol if i have enough pumpkin to spare.

Man everyone who isnt interested in growing pumpkins must HATE this thread being bumped all day everyday.

It's hilarious. Plus, feel good for the partners of the young men who have pounded out their testosterone on the keyboard, at least all they have to worry about is macho-pumpkin talk, until they lose. Well, feel sorry for the one who actually does beat the rest, it'll be pumpkin this, pumpkin that all for the rest of the year til they're bored shitless.

At least it's something to tell the grandkids. "Hey, I'll tell you the time about the pumpkin contest, now them were the days."

Yes, grandad. Why were they all orange grandad, and why did they taste like shit grandad? I'm growing one and it tastes like bananas and cream!"

I actually wouldn't mind if someone posted a recipe for making pumpkin taste good, I'm happy to have my mind changed. Gluten free mind, no pastry or bread.

Whoever wins should throw a monster pumpkin party where the winner makes the food out of their damned pumpkin and we can all sit around and :worship: the remains of their beast.

I'll bring my own food :wink:

Edit - I believe the giant pumps aren't that edible for humans, good feed for cows and horses, pigs.

Maybe a local piggery or feedlot would

Do

With a 500kg plus pumpkin? Moonshine?

Pumpkin taste good? Baked :) mmm pumpkin soup with sour cream chives and a few slivers of chilli !!

Gluten free pumpkin soup.

Roast peeled adn seeded pumpkin in a covered tray with garlic cloves ginger onion cumin, coriander salt pepper. for 1hr20 at 160c

Once its cooked blend up preferably with a stick blender add cream say 1 cup per 2.5 kilo season again to taste.

Eat with gluten free bread and a dollop of sour cream..

will take less time in the oven with less mass. so small batch may only take 40 minutes.

Ah man, this put a damper on my day! Are all giant varieties not good for eating?

If so..

Can we breed one this year that is?!

I love pumpkin and I dont like being wasteful. Perhaps i could turn mine into cat food somehow.

I bought a pumpkin beer a few mths back, so good!

Yeh i think alcohol is well worth considering.

I have a mate who would let me use his still if i could work out what i was doing roughly.

Then again pumpkin spirits don't have the same appeal as a wholesome pumpkin beer.

If anyone finds a recipe, do share!

I have always wondered about pumpkin beverages since reading harry potter :P

I'm happy to blow up the winners pumpkin - I have some TNT and a friend has a slow-mo camera. If someone is willing to donate me a seed, I'll attempt to grow one, and I'll blow it up for your viewing pleasure...
