And most of Japanese believes the word "pumpkin" is the corresponding English word for Japanese one, but I found it's "acorn squash" instead. ( At least, Japanese ones are not orange ones.) We use Japanese "acorn squash" for pumpkin pies here though. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21503568.post-32304204203224857592007-10-10T07:36:00.000-04:002007-10-10T07:36:00.000-04:00In the U.S., we call the orange ones pictured here...In the U.S., we call the orange ones pictured here "pumpkins", and all other kinds are "squashes" (there are also "gourds", which are related plants that aren't usually used for food, but to make bowls or musical instruments or that sort of thing).<BR/><BR/>My favourite squashes are <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butternut_squash" REL="nofollow">butternut squash</A> and <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_squash" REL="nofollow">acorn squash</A>.
