You opened yourself up for this one ... please tell me about acorn squash.
What it tastes like. How it's used.

Side comment: I tasted the butternut squash on its own, and didn't care
for it. It tasted like ... squash. Jill's recipe transformed a vegetable
that I consider yucky into something magical.

I'll tell you this, though. For future pies, I'd rather make one with
butternut squash than with pumpkin. The flavor is much milder.
