Pumpkin empanadas recipie (argentine)

[mkub3905]

quick set of questions about argentine pumpkin empanadas...
here goes:

• is there such a thing as "argentine" pumpkin empanada (or is it really a "mexican" thing - only?)
• if there is, with cheese in the center (or not)?
• if with, then (i'm working with what i got in the fridge today): cheddar, gouda, or cream cheese?
• is a pumpkin empanada a "food" thing, or a "sweet" (treat) - never as a meal thing?
• lastly, if there is such a thing as an "argentine pumpkin empanada", in there a corresponding traditional edge crimp (indicating the that it is pumpkin vs. queso o carne o ...)?

thnx,
m.

They would probably call it "calabaza", and I think I've seen them before.
