When my family moved to the States from Korea, we had never seen an orange pumpkin before! It was a very mysterious looking orange thing, and talk about it’s massive size!!
One fall, our family decided to buy the American pumpkin and give it a try. My brother and I watched in excitement as my dad cut the pumpkin. My dad gave it a big heave and ‘Crack’ went the pumpkin in half! All four of us stared at the pumpkin in silence. My brother exclaimed, “why is it orange!” I soon followed, “why are there so many big seeds?”.
This was a new world of pumpkin for all of us. Long story short, my dad did “try” to make Korean style pumpkin porridge with it. lol From that day on, we decided to leave that to Kabocha pumpkins…😂😂😂
