Just a bit of trivia I read this morning: did you know that pumpkins were considered a staple of the Colonial American diet? It's because of their hard shell, they were able to keep throughout the winter. There was a little poem included, something about eating pumpkin for breakfast and pumpkin at noon, and if there wasn't any pumpkin, they'd have nothing to eat.

I can't even imagine pumpkin without either sugar or salt!
