Hi...
I decided to make a pumpkin pie tonight with one of the pumpkins i picked last week. But when i tried to cut open the pumpkin, a knife wouldn't even pierce the skin! I finally busted it open with a hammer...ok...there was an outer layer that looked like normal pumpkin 'skin', under that was a tan colored layer that looked and felt like plastic! under the plastic layer was a green layer, then the flesh, then the seeds. the outer skin kinda chipped off with the hammer - i have never seen anything like it!
Do you guys think it is safe to eat? any idea what happened?
Thanks!
