I like the really sloppy kind of pumpkin. The guts are the best and the seeds are good when theyre dried and salted. The last few years my pumpkins have been destroyed, all by the same person. The one was pretty neat, the other didnt even make it to the point of being carved. I can't wait to get mine and carve it. It's just not the same if you don't pick your pumpkin out of a field.
