"This is now a firm favourite - easy, tasty and a real hearty meal on a chilly evening! I've experimented with a few vegetables going into this one and it always tastes great - i would agree that perhaps more mince and less carrot would be better but hey i guess thats what adds the calories!"

"I made this recipe with lantern leftovers and found it a good way of using up the flesh. However, there are some changes that are needed to the recipe Firstly, be careful about what vegetable stock you use - i used a bog standard stock cube and found that it made the pasties far too salty and certainly too high in salt for children to eat. Also the quantity of stock quoted in the recipe is way too much - 750ml takes alot longer than 8-10 mins to evaporate and i found i was waiting for quite sometime before the consistency was something i could work with. I would make them again though, this time being careful with the stock as they are a great way of using pumpkin leftovers and salt aside you can taste they have potential!"
