You talk as if pumpkin is a *sweet* food. Pumpkin is not a sweet food. You
have roasted pumpkin with a baked dinner. You have it in scones (or whatever
you call them out there, biscuits or whatever). It is a *vegetable*. Apples
and lemons are not. Do you go having potato pie for dessert? No. Do you have
a cauliflower pie for dessert? No. Yet you have pickles in your hamburgers.
Strange, strange race ...

I will justify this frivolity by linking this discussion ever so tenuously
to the healthy eating habits of Salinger. Well ... I bet *he* wouldn't turn
up his nose at pumpkin soup!
