I LIKE MANY PEOPLE COULD NOT PASS THIS UP AT THE DOLLAR GENERAL STORE. AFTER READING OTHERS RESPONSES, I CANNOT WAIT EXCEPT I THINK I MIGHT DECORATE MINE...MABEY LIKE YOU WOUULD A PUMPKIN. I ALSO HAVE READ THAT YOU CAN EAT THESE BUT THEY HAVE TO BE PREPARED PROPERLY. CURIOSITY GOT THE CAT. I WANT TO TRY ONE. ANY SUGGESTIONS ON PREPARATION AND WHAT THEY TASTE LIKE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
