I have had gourd rind pickles a lot as a kid..my mom used all the
pumpkin..we ate the seeds toasted and the rind as pickles

if I recall she boiled them in the pickling agents to make them soft..

Not at all. I cook the kids' pumpkin with skins too knowing they will
leave them and I will eat them, lol. Roasted or boiled, same thing -
skin soft enough to eat. Saves a lot of peeling time too
