Default Pumpkin question

A 'carving pumpkin' has been brought home - is the eating quality of these things ok? Or are they liable to be bitter?

Not bitter, in my experience, but stringier, less sweet, with less
useable flesh than a "pie pumpkin". Adjust your seasoning accordingly
and you'll be fine.
