You don't have any pumpkins there?
I could ship you one if you cover the postage.

the faster way to do that is just go to challenge archives and filter to show all, then do the search function in your browser. |

From what I can see your type of pumpkins are suitable for carving. We generally have the Jap or the butternut...the Butternut is certainly not the right shape and the Jap's are so damn hard you are lucky to make a straight cut yet alone an intricate cut.
And by the time a pumpkin arrived from over your way... the challenge would have finished voting! Plus...Australians generally don't celebrate Halloween!

Judi....alot of other gourds are used in carving as well...ck out youtube...I've been all over the pumpkin carving area of it and have seen several...I assume that you have some of the other gourds...so in your cooking you don't use pumpkin? I guess it would be imported then...but on the other hand your seasons are opposite of ours...sure you don't want us to ship one over??? I live in the N. Hemisphere but in Florida...therefore we do not have any fall color here until Jan/Feb...and even that's a stretch... |

You're eventually going to get booted. Might as well get on with it. :P
Yeah, I'm in a snarky mood today, but it's a good snarky. :) |

Why bother with stuff that might get you booted, on this one? You're a SNIPER, dude; SNIPE the cr*p out of your punkin and capture it in freeze-frame :-)
