Well, to keep it simple, pumpkin is one type of squash and squash generally refers to four species of genus cucurbita, including the species to which pumpkin belongs. So, to make it clearer, both squash and pumpkin belong to the same family (the cucurbitaceae). A pumpkin is a type of squash.

We tried pumpkin instead of squash in a Philippine dish. It didn’t work.

Can see that now they have an abundance of pumpkins in Germany (many thanks by the way for getting back to me about where you live!). When we left W-Eur. in the 80-ties for the USA, they were nowhere to be found in Holland!
Pumpkin has a specific taste, especially with the spices of cinnamon or nutmeg, that I love pumpkin the most in pumpkin desserts. (like pie or bread). Never tire of this subject for ALL SEASONS – so thank you much!
Have a great week:)

I’d best not tell my granddaughter that a pumpkin is a squash. She hates squash but loves Pumpkin Pie! – Love all the different varities of squash you’ve shared.
