A pumpkin is a gourd-like squash of the genus Cucurbita and the family Cucurbitaceae (which also includes gourds).[1] It commonly refers to cultivars of any one of the species Cucurbita pepo, Cucurbita mixta, Cucurbita maxima, and Cucurbita moschata, and is native to North America. They typically have a thick, orange or yellow shell, creased from the stem to the bottom, containing the seeds and pulp.
In Australian English, the name 'pumpkin' generally refers to the broader category called winter squash in North America.
The above is a description I found in Wikipedia that defines the Pumkin.....and will aslo relate to the condition my family will be in after we eat a month of pumpkin recipes! We actually started early on October 30 because we knew this week would be a little "squashed" and that we should get ahead....here is
The Pumpkin Chronicles.
