According to legend, Jack deceived both God and the devil, but when he died, he was admitted neither to Heaven nor Hell.
He was condemned to wander eternally in the night with only a lantern to light his path. The lantern was made from a hollow pumpkin and a candle inside.
This story inspired the tradition of carving scary faces on pumpkins during Halloween.
But the pumpkin, in addition to being the protagonist of scary decorations, can also be enjoyed in a variety of delicacies.
A tribute to the pumpkin, versatile fruit and queen of Halloween!
