A pumpkin IS a squash.

Pumpkin in a can is usually butternut squash.

The FDA has no definition of what a pumpkin is so canned pumpkin is often any one of a variety of squashes.

This is why sweet potato is the best pie

there’s some arguement as to whether the Dickinson is a pumpkin or a squash.

I like to use the Cinderella pumpkin, but wow, they are juicy!

There for short time we had pumpkin pie ice cream so popular sold out fast.

I just had to look it up.. treehugger.com/green-food/7-squashes-use-pumpkin-pie.html

My mom uses butternut squash. It’s creamier than pumpkin.

The distinction between pumpkins and squashes is a very, very fuzzy one. Pumpkins and other winter squashes are all the same species (with possibly a very few exceptions), and the flavors and colors of all of them are quite similar. So is it true pumpkin pies are made from squashes? Yes. All are made of squashes, and some are made from squashes that are not called pumpkins (although there are such things as sweet potato pie and carrot pie that are pumpkin-pie-like, but contain no pumpkin—but nobody calls them pumpkin pie).

Well, my grandmother used to make pies out of butternut squash. Similar taste but I found the texture a little different.
