When I was a kid Mom was making a meal that included the steamed pumpkin that had been out on the porch for Halloween - she was making a pie to go with dinner. She also had some regular butternut-style squash that was steaming. As you have probably already sussed, when we sat down to dinner and started eating the mashed squash on our plates, we realized it was the pumpkin. And the squash pie was perfectly delicious.
