Cut your pumpkin into-slices, and put it in boiling water
for five minutes,  with some salt ; take it out ; pound it to a
pulp, and put it into a saucepan with some melted butter,
with which warm it up. Put into a tureen some crusts of
bread spread with butter and sugar ; add the pumpkin pulp ;
pour in some boiling milk, mix the whole, and serve after you
have let it simmer for ten minutes longer. Or you may make
your pumpkin soup a savoury one with veal stock.
  This interesting vegetable is shamefully neglected by
English cooks. Boiled or fried pumpkin is eaten with roast
meat in Australia; and pumpkin-pie is one of the nicest of
American sweet dishes.
