Halloween is almost here, and we're seeing plenty of Pumpkins on our supermarket shelves! Pumpkins, the plump orange variation of squash are the things most commonly associated with Halloween. Their origin comes from an Irish myth about a man called Stingy Jack, who tricked the Devil for his own monetary gain. When Jack died, God didn’t allow him into heaven, and the Devil didn’t let him into hell either, and so Jack was sentenced to roam the earth for eternity, with only a hallowed turnip to light the way. This is where Jack'O'Lanterns come from.
