When making a pumpkin face what we scoop out makes a soup.
Copy cat!
We're haring the same brain cell. You should be proud.
Absolutely. You can also eat the face the day after, or whenever. In Mauritius the stores sold large pumpkin slices (vertically cut) most likely as a remnant from pre-refrigeration days. Odd how some cultures eat some parts of plants, while others won't. Things like beet tops, carrot tops, pumpkin vines, etc. vary by culture.
Here in France you can buy 1/4 ot 1/2 pumpkin. From a market stall freshly cut or wrapped in film from a shop/supermarket

I bought a pie pumpkin this year. Last year I was given one and made a pie with it. It is a bit more work, but one can taste the difference between fresh and canned. So this year I put my money where my mouth is. Literally.
I always do that -- and I add an ounce of rye whisky to my pie! Makes a delightful difference.
Not so fond of carrot tops, but beet greens are, in my opinion, way better than spinach.
Carot tops can be a substitute for basil in pesto. Not as strong flavour and different taste of course.

Here, at least at some of the larger vegetable stands, one can find pie pumpkins. I had to confirm that there is a difference. And yes, pie or sugar pumpkins have quite a few differences from carving pumpkins. Carving pumpkins were bred to be larger, much larger at times, and to have thinner walls since that makes them easier to carve. They were not bred for flavor, and I guess that it shows:

Do you know what happens when you eat a ton of beet greens because your housemate won't even try them? I found a source, not ideal, but still pretty good. of beet greens years ago and bought enough for four. They all disappeared rather quickly that night.

The big perfect orange one looks like a carving pumpkin. I suppose it is possible to grow for both size and flavor. As you know one can do wonders with artificial selection. A lot of our fresh tomatoes are grown taking their ability to be shipped into consideration. My vegetable stand that I go to has some Washington state tomatoes. The farms may be 150 miles away or so, call it 200 kms away. And that is about as far as they ship. Any further and the spoilage rate of those tasty and more fragile tomatoes is too high. Meanwhile there are fresh tomatoes that are shipped for thousands of mile. Those have to be almost bullet proof and in comparison they taste that way.
Yup, there are a good few farmers only grow heirloom tomatoes and sell them on the local markets.
Same with carrots.
