A pumpkin is actually any plant of the genus Cucurbita, with large lobed leaves and tendrils. However, when we say pumpkin we usually mean the large round yellow or orange fruit of this plant; a type of squash, like the butternut.
Pumpkins can be over a foot across, and in the US, UK and some other countries children like to hollow them out and cut holes in them to make lanterns for Hallowe'en. But they are normally grown for eating. They have to be cut open, and the central seeds and fibres removed. Then the flesh can be cut into pieces, sweetened and baked in a pie.
An alternative is to cut a pumpkin in half, scrape out the seeds and put a chicken inside one half. Then close the two halves together so that the pumpkin forms a kind of round box, cover with foil and cook in the oven - this keeps the chicken sweet and moist.
