Pumpkin seeds were commonly sold as a snack (also sunflower seeds) when I was young, growing up in New York City. Now you can buy local pumpkin seed snacks - shelled and spiced - and they are so crisp, and good.

The artificial stuff (like most artificial flavors) makes me gak. <br /><br />My girls love to make pumpkin muffins from the puree we made (and froze) from last year's pumpkins.

Your pictures are beautiful and colorful. I always learn something new from you. I love pumpkin myself and have had it many ways. One of my favorite ways is in Moroccan food, in tangine, cooked in a local earthen pot. It's cut in huge chunks and served with couscous and meat. So delicious! Mmmm! I enjoy pumpkin pie and pumpkin seeds (tasted first in Egypt), I really like the list of pumpkin-flavored foods you shared. Who knew? Thanks a lot! I'll just sign this comment...<br />-- "Pumpkin-head"!
