Pumpkins are widely eaten in Rwanda, taken as a hot dish. You can add up a little alternation to your pumpkin preparation by frying them to get a different taste all together.
Same technique can be used for butternut squash, which is very similar to a pumpkin or any other type of large, hard squash.
