On a trip to New Zealand, I had a lamb burger served on a pumpkin bun. The burger itself was delicious, of course, but what really astonished me was the bun: rich and slightly sweet, with a cluster of crunchy pumpkin seeds on top. I decided to try making my own pumpkin buns when I got home, using a pumpkin dinner roll recipe from Gourmet as a jumping-off point. These buns are plenty flavorful on their own, and can stand up to all sorts of meaty, spicy fillings.
