> If you call what we call butternut squash 'pumpkin,' what do call a pumpkin?
we don't seem to have the halloween type pumpkins that you guys do. i guess we would call those halloween or jack o lantern pumpkins. you don't eat those - do you?
the one that is bell shaped... i think we do call that a squash... but butternut pumpkin is butternut pumpkin.
i just chopped up half a pumpkin (from a whole pumpkin) without a decent cleaver. had forgotten what hard work that was...
> I LOVE words....expressions...dialect...accents...if I had several extra lifetimes I would/should have gone into linguistics at an early age.
:)
i was never big on words in that way... i just liked novels and later plays and poems.
