[If Lalli was more knowledgeable and more articulate, he might have been able to give Lapis a real answer: pumpkins are native to an entirely different part of the world than he's from, and the coldness of Finland's climate is not conducive to growing them, and the energy needed to power greenhouses to cultivate them regardless is too precious to use in rural places like Keuruu. Even in the more advanced places like Sweden and Denmark, it's better spent on plants like coffee beans or cocoa or sugarcane, or other luxuries that are more universally in demand.
If pumpkins survived the Old World, they're exclusively the subject of eccentric preservationists, or on another continent entirely.
Unfortunately, Lalli is not more knowledgeable and articulate, and he's pretty close to accusing Lapis of making shit up.]
It's not that weird! Just because you know something doesn't mean everyone else does.
