They've probably got an aisle full of seasonal landfill fodder too.
Folk compare prices on essentials but stuff like that is far more profitable.

I would bet there’s very few. They are disgusting though so it’s no real surprise! |

No, no, no! Try cutting into chunks, and roasting them. Delicious.

Really? Joking aside I was under the impression that the variety used for Halloween was not thought to be very tasty. |

Weirdo. One year at work a bloke brought in a pumpkin pie or cheesecake or some sort of thing with pumpkin in that he had made. It was foul. Everyone complimented him on it. Until his back was turned, lol. |

Of course, you'd want to roast in olive oil, and add some rosemary, and some garlic. Possibly a touch of chilli, too.

Are those a different variety?  I had no idea. However, the 'normal' ones are excellent (done properly). |
