ajfklsa. This is weird, but I was reading up on the history of jack'o'lanterns, yeah? And there's this thing about how the Irish originally used turnips and carved them to put embers inside, but when they came to the New World they found pumpkins were more plentiful (and, personally I think probably a lot easier to carve), and so they used those.
I was just curious if it was still like that, if maybe the climate was too different to grow them or something.
