Do you think Hitler liked pumpkins, or is that just anti-pumpkin propaganda?
Sounds great, mine is just the vegetarian option because meesa no eat no meat
I have no reliable data on whether Hitler liked pumpkin. However, I have the feeling that pumpkin is a very un Nazi like vegetable, and I don't really see Hitler liking it.
He certainly wouldn't like my favorite vegetarian pumpkin stew as it's both Spanish and *gasp* South American: Begin with onions as before. But add only pumpkin and water until pumpkin is tender. Then add one cup roasted green chilies and two tablespoons cumin. Garnish with sour cream and a dollop of green chili sauce. Chorizo is a good addition, but not, alas, vegetarian.
I'll have to try your recipe. Tis the the season for warm stick-to-your-ribs food and pumpkin stew is one of the best.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
