For me personally, there is nothing surprising, and almost immediately, after completing a short photo session with a pumpkin, I began to cut it and prepare a dish. I think that it would be wasteful to simply throw away such a wonderful vegetable after participating in the competition, because so many different tasty and healthy dishes can be prepared from a pumpkin. In my case, it was stewed pumpkin with vegetables and chicken (damn, I didn’t think to take a photo set of this and you just have to take my word for it ).

In a sense, cooking after carving a pumpkin can be considered a kind of ritual. After all, it's a harvest festival.
