Ok, My American buddies. These are pumpkins.
Butternut pumpkin.
Queensland Blue pumpkin.
Jap pumpkin.
These are squash. The green thing is a zucchini. And we share a common language!!!

Yes, and no. : ) We call that butternut squash. I've had something like the Jap, but not a large. I love zucchini and grow it.
LOL That first pic is plainly a SQUASH. And um, "jumpers" are those little farmer type overalls, did you know that? They're not really sweaters.
Are you sure we have a common language? :)
Sandra: I had a feeling we were talking at cross purposes. ☺
Mrsc: lol I'm not sure we share anything ~ let alone a language. And a jumper is a sheep, jfyi.☺
Top one = butterNUT squash
2nd one = pumpkin, but the wrong colour! LOL
3rd one = looks like a butterCUP squash...
4th = zucchini, yes. Never seen those little yellow things!
I *love* the differences in our 'common' language LOL
surely you mean courgette :o)

Hojos: I about fell out of my chair laughing ~ but I don't, you know ☺
Moly: Enjoy. The Hojos have now joined this war of words & being English call nothing by it's correct name. ;P
We do not speak "a common language". We all speak different dialects of English.
Call a butternut what you will, but it originated in the Americas around Mexico. So there! :P
Off to research the botanical differences between squash and pumpkins.
Personally, I prefer spaghetti squash. Fun to eat and without a strong squash-y (pumpkin-y?) flavor.
