Is it normal i consider pumpkin carving a waste of food?
I think it would be wiser to consume the pumpkin flesh and meat instead of using it for art.

I hate any waste of food, including food fights, eating competitions and food being thrown out by supermarkets and sometimes growers because supermarket chains won't accept "imperfect" fruit or vegetables.
On a recent Australian program about waste, banana growers were bulldozing huge piles of bananas into the ground because supermarkets wouldn't accept larger than usual fruit.

I don't know if what you call yams in the usa are what we call sweet potato over here: it's a tropical vegetable which means I can't grow it here in the south east of the country but maybe that'll be one good thing about global warming.
On second thoughts, they're probably not the same thing because sweet potato is sweet enough without being candied, especially when it's roasted. I roast up big batches of it sliced up and put it in stir fries, pasta sauces and as a spread: love it!

Meh, I'll eat pumpkin like that, and almost any other way. I'll spread pumpkin puree on bread with cinnamon, make pumpkin spice mug cakes, bake it and eat it as a side dish for random meals, ect.
Really, the options are endless if I figure that my meal or snack could use a hit of vitamin A.

The last time I carved a pumpkin, I ate the guts that were in it. They tasted okay. Not exactly the best thing I ever ate.

What do people here mean by pumpkin "flesh", "meat" or "guts"? I thought pumpkin is a fruit.

Meat and flesh are teens used to describe the “squishy,” red, fiborius inside of the pumpkin, which most people use for pie.
Flesh is the outside of the pumpkin. Some terms are regional.

Many classify it as a fruit. Anyways there's need for this kind of stuff, I'm not here for taxonomy debates.

He’s right. Anything edible plants with seeds growing in it is considered a vegetable.

Fruit is more specific, as it is something that grows from the ovary of a flower, and contains the seeds.
That includes pumpkins, cucumbers, etc.

Nup, tomato is a fruit and it's edible with seeds in it, not that it matters one bit anyway

Eat the bits you remove from the jackolantern, color your Easter eggs safely so you can eat them too.
