After Halloween, there are lots of leftover pumpkins, most of which unfortunately [[food waste|go to waste]]. This page is about what could be done instead.
==Food ideas==
* [[Recipe:Pumpkin pie|Pumpkin pie]]
* [[Recipe:Pumpkin bread|Add pumpkin to breads, muffins or cakes]] (improves the texture)
* [[Recipe:Pumpkin soup|Pumpkin soup]]
==Collective actions {{fists}}==
