Well, pumpkin is seasonal and for your tort should be an occasional treat. Use the *pie* pumpkin, not sure why but that's what I was told. Remove seeds and toast for your own treat! Apparently, the tiny pumpkins or gourds are not an appropriate food.

While you're buying pumpkin, get a head of radicchio, an expensive chickory, the red leaf in "Spring Mix." No tort I know refuses it; of course not, it's expensive!!

HTH,
