How do I tell the difference when at the grocery store? I was thinking of buying one to eat it — I now realize I might have been about to make a mistake.
Actual pie pumpkins are generally smaller, and labelled as such. Many of the decorative-but-not-for-carving varieties are also good for pie, but you’d want to google the variety to check
Carving pumpkins and pie pumpkins are different varieties of pumpkin; you don’t really want to eat a jack-o’-lantern
