What Australians and New Zealanders call butternut pumpkin we call
butternut squash. Our pumpkin is a different pumpkin cultivar. They are
orange and get very big. I don't think many people actually eat them
and that most pumpkins end up being carved up into Jack O'Lanterns at
Halloween. Most canned pumpkin is actually squash.
