Too local reference? How wide-spread are jack-o-lanterns or The Legend of 
Sleepy
Hollow? ? But, come to think of it, how widespread are pumpkins? Well, at 
least to France, where I don't think they are carved for Hallowe'en. Maybe 
"pie melon," since any squash served in a pie is going to be called a 
pumpkin (I had "squash pie" made with Hubbards once -- clearly an act of 
desperation). But Lojban was not designed by cooks, so there doesn't seem to 
be a word for pie (or crust or pastry or...)
