The best test for the edibility/taste of pumpkins is to try them yourself. Don't trust somebody else to tell you what you like.

Beet greens are a delicacy around here too. It was my Tamil friends who demonstrated to me that not all cultures agree. They'd never heard of eating beet greens.

And even if you don't care for the taste of pumpkin, earthworms LOVE it. Spread it out in the flower beds or compost pile. My son always feeds his wormbed with pumpkin.
I can always find heirloom tomatoes and carrots. What I can only very rarely find are black radishes. I think there are only a couple of growers in all of Canada.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
My daughter taught me how to make the best pumpkin soup. I absolutely love it. I need to buy the stuff to make it. It's not difficult, it's just stuff I don't usually have in my kitchen, like ummmmmm, pumpkin (and heavy cream). I do have an immersion blender though!
TRUE STORY TIME:
Once I ordered an immersion blender from Amazon. In it came and it just did not work. I mean, it just did not turn on. I thought about returning it to Amazon but what a hassle. So I just thought "Let me call the number on the box." I called it and an AMERICAN ANSWERED RIGHT AWAY, and said "What color did you buy?" I told him and he said "I will send you another one right away along with a box to return the other one that doesn't work. Just stick it in your mailbox - the box I am sending is already paid for and marked." Wow! I was amazed at all that.

They are common here, usually on market veg stalls, the long ones usually.
I'd never seen them in England so was confused when i first saw one, i had no idea what they were.
A friend grows them (easy to do) and usually gives me a couple.
I haven't either. But there are a lot of veggies around that others haven't seen, as many varieties have their own unique location. In Mauritius they had large tasty white cucumbers. Boss and I didn't know what they were at first. Local tomatoes, OTOH, were pathetic, unless it was a cottage industry guy growing them hydroponically on his roof with a contract to supply one or two luxury hotels. We get some Indian stuff here, like red carrots. Just so many varieties of everything when you consider the entire planet. Farmers here know all about varieties of wheat, Canola, chick peas, etc. Very interesting subject if you like agriculture.

Some of the sampler of our Saturnalia cake
I make a couple of rich fruit cakes a couple of months before. One we'll be having for dessert for the next few days. The other will be fed a spoonful of cognac every week until it's decorated.

As of this morning, I'm in trouble with my doctor. So I went to the grocery store and loaded up on fresh veges. I promised I would have my numbers down by the first of February. I still have some no-nos to take care of (I don't throw good food away) first, though, soooooo
Chili cheese dogs tonight!
