Yuck. Snuffy Smith made a similar reference last week, and not even as a joke. At least as a child Peppermint Patty can be forgiven for not understanding that the filthy week-old candle-scorched hull isn’t the part of the pumpkin you make pie out of.
They fit nicely in a garbage can. As far as cooking them, there are Jack-O-Lantern pumpkins and cooking pumpkins. Neither type should be used for the purpose of the other.
We make a beef stew in a pumpkin shell every year around Halloween. You use a (smallish) jack-o-lantern pumpkin and it’s fine to scrape out some of the pumpkin flesh when you serve the stew. Tastes like any winter squash.

What was Peppermint Patty thinking: giving away a jack-o’-lantern?

Pie in the sky?

What else can you do with a hollowed out pumpkin?

I just hope Peppermint Patty doesn’t try to share that pie.

It’s probably not the right kind of pumpkin anyway. You want a sugar pumpkin for pie.

I see a lot of them flattened in the middle of the street.

Most pumpkins used in jack-o-lanterns are bred for looks and don’t taste very good. Pumpkins for baking are called sugar pumpkins.
