I've never done that myself, but after looking it up it doesn't seem like it would be extremely difficult, but I've gotten used to making things from scratch though so ymmv.

I don't want to hype it up too much, If I'm being honest the first slice of Pie I will get at thanksgiving is usually a cherry pie, and I'll get Pumpkin if I left room for seconds. That being said it's just not fall/ thanksgiving around here without at least one slice of the stuff. I like it but I imagine the brown sugar, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg probably has as much to do with it as the pumpkin itself.

One thing I do know about baking them is that, unlike the ones you buy to make into Jack-O-Lanterns, you want to get a relatively small one- they actually grow varieties of pumpkin specifically for cooking with here, but I doubt that you could get one down there if y'all aren't used to eating them. I think you would be fine just getting the smallest ones you can find. (2 Kilos or less preferably).

I'll make you a deal, if you do it I will do it too, and post pictures of the result :)

If you do, make sure to retain the seeds and toast them. (It's tradition, and they’re known to be a good source of magnesium, fiber, zinc, iron and a whole host of other nutrients and antioxidants.) Note that is the basic bitch recipe and you can do a lot of fun things with them. I like tossing them with Cajun seasoning as an example.
