Here in the UK we tend to buy pumpkins once a year at Halloween, make a jack-o-lantern out of them and throw out the insides. Gill Didsbury from Australia noticed this on a visit over here, she says that over in OZ they do things differently and to prove her point has sent us some tempting recipes.<\/p>\n
