Flavour Notes
The pumpkin has to be roasted, never boiled — you want flavour, not water. The batter is looser than you'd expect; it should pour rather than scoop. Fried in small batches in oil that's exactly hot enough so the outside sets immediately and the inside steams rather than absorbs oil. Dusted with cinnamon sugar; some houses do syrup — we don't fight people on this.
Heating Instructions
All meals are fully cooked and delivered refrigerated. Keep refrigerated (consume within 4 days) or freeze immediately for up to 6 weeks. For best results, defrost overnight in the fridge — frozen-direct timings are a fallback, not the target.
Reheat to 75°C / 167°F internal temperature — a knife-tip held 2 seconds against the centre should feel hot, not warm. Always rest 2–5 minutes after reheating so the centre fully evens out. Reheat once only; never re-reheat leftovers.
Prepared in a kitchen that also handles gluten, tree nuts, dairy and soy — see the allergens list for dish-specific information.
Heat gently until piping hot throughout. Times are a guide — check the centre before serving.

The Story
Sweet roasted pumpkin folded through a light batter, fried until the outside is lacy-crisp and the middle is barely holding together, then dusted with cinnamon sugar. The side dish that upstages the main every single time.
