I have never tried Pumpkin before, have you?

I am this old and I have never tasted the pumpkin flesh or the seed before. I have heard from someone that it tastes like yam and another person it's watery. When I see pumpkin the only thing I can imagine doing is cutting it Open, punching two eyeballs holes and carving and mouth as Halloween. We don't really celebrate Halloween here but that's they only thing I've seen people do with pumpkins.

You really cannot tell what a crop tastes like until you slice it open.

I've been about to get some of the seeds and they resemble small pebbles. You would sometimes find them spread out on a zinc rooftop in the village. They say that you have to fry it with salt to taste it. If you don’t do it right you would just be chewing something like a piece of dry wood. Some people in the North make soup with it, they call it Miyan Taushe. Perhaps if God gives me the opportunity to travel I'll try some.

I saw a woman yesterday carrying a really heavy one on her head. It made me wonder why anyone would go through that stress for something that I don't know how many people buy. Well if they didn't have customers they would not be selling till today.

I don't want a situation where I spend my money only to discover that the thing was tasteless. But it is worth trying something I never have.

It is obviously not like a mango, just from the smell even before you peel its skin is enough proof.

Everything is trial and error and if you don't try now stuff out you'll never enjoy true life and you won't learn so I'll give it a try.

When I get my hands on one I'll put it in a pot and wait for the heat to determine the result. I will probably buy just a small portion of it first. No need binding myself to a whole fruit when the result is still a mystery to my tongue. Perhaps tomorrow would be the day for this experiment I'll keep my watermelon money for this one, I hope I don't regret.
