Fancy Dress Store in Stillorgan.

Dealz also had them.

I used a stanley nice, an ice-cream scooper for the flesh, and a standard steak knife to carve a massive mother b'tch of a thing

Maybe a pad saw for cutting plaster board.

Does no one not carve turnips any more that is what i will be doing.

I rented a chain saw from the local hardware shop, made light work of the job.

They're a pain, pumpkins are so much easier.

You can't put a candle inside a turnip though

Ipso

you can put a small one in there, and you get the bonus smell of burned turnip. Or use a small electronic candle.

I bought the Paul Costello Pumpkin Carving set in Dunnes

Step 1. Buy a pumpkin
Step 2. Use knife to cut pumpkin

Alternatively do it properly and get a turnip. not some crap Americanism

Spar have them

Can you do this with a turnip.

Did you hear about the pumpkin who died a tragic death?

There was a big turnip at his funeral

They say that the old ones are the best.....especially if you hurl for Ballyragget!

I've read that the carved turnip supposedly was a representation of a human head used in ancient Samhain festivities

The Irish then brought the practice of carving vegetables to America where turnips were replaced by more readily available Pumpkins

The Americans then exported pumpkin carving back across the Atlantic

I suggest we resist this type of cultural terrorism and insist on the use of traditional turnip only ....

Even the Canadians advocate using the original turnip ....

:pac:

I've never even owned, let alone carved, a pumpkin.

When did this new-fangled cultural import arrive on our shores?

Why can't be just bring our dodgy fire-works down from the north of Ireland, and endanger life, limb and property with treacherous bonfires, like in the old days?

Fucken snowflakes :mad::mad::mad:

Fireworks come from China - definitely not traditional!

Ah poor oul' granda. You can add that to your list of deprivation stories, along with having to walk to school in your bare feet, uphill all the way there and uphill all the way home, not to mention having respect for your elders.

I'm actually going to carve a pumpkin this year. I've passed through my "I hate kids" stage and feel like being all homely and benevolent - I think a knife and a spoon will be sufficient though, seen some very artistic ideas online but I'm betting once I've scoopec out the middle, the standard triangles for eyes and toothless grin is all I'm gonna manage.

There's no real middle to scoop out, just seeds and membrane type fibers.
A screw driver is useful to do the eyes and to provide some holes in the back and top for the heat to escape.

Surely that would be turnips and not those wussy pumpkins

I soaked my pumpkin in hot water thursday night, then drove my fist into it, it was like putty. My little son made a cool scary face with his hands. I then stuck mr punk into the oven for a couple of mins and he came up like perfect. He's now sitting on our front doorstep.
