Pumpkins are inedible???

[Revalopod]

I thought my game was bugged or had some mod conflict because it wouldn't let me add my gold star pumpkin into the luau soup. I looked it up on the wiki and it's apparently inedible? What? How is a pumpkin inedible? This is unsensible and my day is less happy.

You ever seen a pumpkin? You want to try eating one, be my guest, but good luck getting through the thick skin. Not to mention if you don't cook the gooey flesh inside, it tastes pretty horrible.

have you ever tried to eat uncooked pumpkin?

that's why

Wow i didn't even realize Pumpkin is inedible, but if you can drink Mayonnaise in the new update you can eat Pumpkin let's be real now.

There is such a thing that uses pumpkin filling in pies from a pumpkin. Ever eaten pumpkin pie?

Yes, you can eat pumpkins, and you can eat almost all parts of the pumpkin, including the flesh, seeds, and skin, depending on the variety:

Flesh
Pumpkins are a good source of vitamins A and C, iron, and riboflavin. You can eat pumpkin raw in salads and smoothies, or cook it in a variety of ways, such as boiling, steaming, pressure cooking, microwaving, or oven-baking.

Seeds
Pumpkin seeds can be rich in potassium and protein, and you can eat them toasted or baked.

Skin
The skin of smaller varieties, like onion squash, is edible, but the skin of larger varieties may be too tough. For butternut squash, whether you eat the skin is a matter of personal taste.

Jack-o'-lanterns
You can eat pumpkins that are used for jack-o'-lanterns as long as they are in good condition and haven't been carved. However, jack-o'-lanterns are usually larger and have stringier pulp and more watery flesh.

Sugar or pie pumpkins
These smaller pumpkins are usually sweeter, less stringy, and have a deeper, richer color. You can eat an entire sugar pie pumpkin, aside from the stem.

You should wash pumpkins thoroughly before eating to remove any surface dirt or bacteria.

It really depends on which type of pumpkin you want to eat though. Some squashes can even be made into stews. Again, pumpkin type is really if it is edible. In this game i think they use the traditional jack o latern type pumpkins which are not very edible though.

raw

eating a pumpkin directly from your action bar means you're eating it raw

there's no difficulty in game at all eating cooked pumpkin, there's at least one recipe for it

eating it without prep is only slightly easier than eating a block of cedar without prep

the TC is not trying to eat it raw he is trying to put it into the potluck which will boil it, there are some soups that use pumpkins as ingredients

Yea, i even eaten pumpkin seeds before. I liked them. I also eaten sunflower seeds too. There pretty good too. Add a bit of salt on them and they taste even better.

Pretty sure the eating it from action bar is the reason that it's marked inedible in game, though.

Hey, don't underestimate the farmer! If they can throw a plate with any cooked meal up in the air only to have it land in the mouth and then swallow it whole, then surely they should be able to swallow a pumpkin as well!

How about senior plates?

But yes, granola in the valley is quite organic I hear. Made with the help of geode crushers. Personally I would like to try the Amethyst Blend, but I might go for Ruby Delish instead!

Yeah I thought the potluck would accept any fruit or vegetable, even if you don't normally eat them raw (even though it's literally 100% edible). The conditions for the potluck is that it has to be an uncooked food, which I thought a pumpkin would perfectly meet the criteria.
Because if you turn the pumpkin into a dish and make it "edible" then it wouldn't be valid to add it to the potluck anymore.
Idk, to me it just seems like an oversight. I mean, you can literally add poisonous items or even pants in the soup and make the governor sick or pass out lol. But not a pumpkin!??!?!

[Coffee Addict]

maybe concerned ape isnt a fan of pumpkin type foods
