Not too much to ask.

What aslo isn't too much to ask is that pumpkins (and squashes) are used for soups and with roast dinners, and neeps are used for lanterns. Other than being how it should be, it also causes less food waste as the hollowed out neep can be eaten, unlike the pumpkin seeds that, whilst edible, invariably get binned.
