On Thursday and Friday, Morrisons’ greengrocers nationwide will hold live ‘How To’ tutorials, which will see them sharing prepping and carving tips, answering questions, and providing insider tricks of the trade for carving all sizes of pumpkins.
David Bartle, head of pumpkins at Morrisons, said: “Halloween is a big occasion for our customers with the perfect pumpkin taking centre stage in most UK households. “We know that some of our customers dread the annual carving, so we thought it useful to roll out our greengrocers who can help turn their pumpkins into the perfect ghouls, ghosts, witches and Jack-o’-Lanterns. “We hope our classes, stencils and online tutorials will help make carving easier.”
Morrisons has also created an online ‘how to’ video and a series stencils for 30-minute “monster masterpieces” - Hit get deal link

Maybe they'll also have some cooking classes for what to do with the pumpkin as well...
Halloween horror for food waste
By Laurence Gibbons
Nearly two-thirds of people will throw edible pumpkins away after Halloween, with a quarter planning to bin them instead of taking them to compost or a food waste bank, research by Populus indicates.
That's an interesting observation that?, never thought about it myself none?.
Hmmmmmmmmmm, but saying that though, similar could be said of allllll the wasted food stuffs come Christmas time right? .. excesses in left over turkeys, and/or spent (but not consumed) stuffing, and .....
What more often then not becomes of them things too? (if not more so the bin too?) :-(
