Que pasa calabasa* [food]
I think this second stuffed pumpkin is a Jarrahdale.
Regardless, it was a gorgeous blue-grey before it went in the oven, and it was extremely delicious coming out of the oven.
I can't fully describe the flavor and texture of it. Almost buttery and creamy, yet unmistakably pumpkin. Rich, and the richness isn't the stuffing, it's the pumpkin itself. The rind just falls off, with an outer flaky pumpkin layer.
If I find these for sale again, I'll buy more. This is the pumpkin I should have served for Thanksgiving. Now I know.
*¿Que pasa calabasa? is Spanish for "What's up, pumpkinhead?" The standard reply is "Nada nada, limonada," or, "Nothing, nothing, lemonade." I don't make up these rules.
