Unfortunately, growers are breeding pumpkins these days for carving and size, not taste.
Fortunately, there's been a backlash (see Tuesday's NYT article which requires a login).
So yeah, go taste! I speak as someone who makes an excellent pumpkin pie and pumpkin soup (I chose "Functionality" for my vote).

Size. There's just nothing better than having a bigger pumpkin than your neighbor, especially if it is that neighbor with the boat, the pool, and the fancy sports car. :)

Yup, although that is more to have enough room to put the fancy design on it.

Considers all patchs carefully, evaluating them on different platforms and verifies threads-compatibility and ensures that code written for 5.001m still runs correctly. Definite bonus points if they also enjoy a beer or two. When confronted with a bug, will quickly develop a fix, add documentation and tests.

My eye/brain interface is playing tricks again. I read the title of this poll as...
What I look for in a pumpking is...
This made me wonder if something had happened to Nicholas, or if we had achieved a perl release milestone and I didn't notice.

Hmmm, Fresh Roasted Pumpkin Seeds... ;)
For anyone out there that anticipates smashed pumpkins:
Dog Crap, Lots of it. Mix in some old kitty litter. I think my house must have become famous, nobody smashes my Jack-O-Lanterns anymore.
Yes it makes a mighty mess and smells bad, but you ROFLYAO while you spray off the foot prints on your driveway.

I was getting fed up with all this about pumpkins, but you made me laugh out loud ++.
When I was a young lad many moons ago in the UK we didn't know what a pumpkin was and had to make do with a hollowed out turnip or swede. Not an easy thing to hollow out compared to a pumpkin. Many hours later with cuts on our hands the resplendent blood splattered hollowed out turnips would be put on view illuminated by a bit of candle (no batteries or flashing diodes for us).
The kids have it too easy these days!!

Well it is halloween.
A turnip? That sounds like a true challenge, I've made Jacks out of various gourds, but never a turnip
I'm glad I made you laugh. After having a number of Jack-O-Lanterns smashed over the years I decided to get even. I decided that filling it with broken bottles was over the top, but remembered the old "poop in a burning bag" prank.
I had two more Jacks smashed after that (2002) and not a one since.

I had no idea the monastery was full of so many pumkin experts or that there was so much to look for in a pumpkin.
Living in a country where we don't do anything for halloween, we normally just look for seeds....
