really does matter. look at this freakin' huge record-breaking punkin...all 1502 lbs. of its voluptuous glory. sheesh.what i would like to know is its dimensions. i don't think that this photo does justice to its massiveness. and how, exactly, do you grow one so big...in Rhode Island of all places? just what kind of fertilizer did Farmer John use?!?
apparently, Grand Central Station in NYC purchased this juggernaut of a specimen and will donate it to a food bank after the 31st. just cleaning it out took two hours. hell, they could have made a killing off of the seeds had they toasted and sold them...
one thing though, i wonder if they realize that good pumpkin pie is not made with large pumpkins. contrary to popular belief, pie pumpkins are usually small (i.e., grapefruit to honeydew melon-sized); jack o'lantern pumpkins are a different variety that doesn't have very good flesh and usually yields pies that are stringy and coarse.
