Definitely pumpkins.

Still carve them now for the kids - they like 3 or 4 these days and at least one has to be 'throwing its bloody red guts up'

(Thank god for food colouring lol)

Turnips! Pumpkins are from across the big pond.

"Pumpkins, like other squash, are native to North America."

Take turnip. Slice top off. Make multiple cores using battery drill and 13 mm drill bit then cut between cores with a sharp knife. Break out turnip center.

Carve face in turnip. Pop in tea light.
