What do you do with a 450-pound pumpkin? You make soup, of course. Lots of soup. A free meal event in Corner Brook today was all thanks to a farmer and a local restaurant
b"This IS the season for all things pumpkin, and, today, there's a special meal being served up in Corner Brook that is making full use of some locally-grown pumpkins. We're talking giant pumpkins -- 450 pounds each -- grown by Joie de Vivre farm in Irishtown. Adrian Reid is one of the farm's owners. Madison's Restaurant in Steady Brook is turning the pumpkins into a hearty pumpkin soup. Erica Park is food and beverage manager at Madison's. Virender Singh, known to most people as Viru, is executive chef at Madison's."
