Cushaws don't look like pumpkins but are called pumpkins in seed catalogs.

How many times must we have this discussion?

The Libby's canned pumpkin I have says "100% pumpkin". So does the
Publix brand.

I just took these pics, the labels on canned pumpkin:

I'm not a fan of pumpkin pie but I do like being able to make a quick
and slightly spicy pumpkin soup using canned pumpkin.

BTW, actual pumpkin soup tastes completely different when made with
butternut squash as a "substitute". I know, because I've made soup from
both. It's easy enough to tell the difference even when it comes from a
can.

If I were president, anything that was previously called "squash" would be called "pumpkin." "Squash" would only be a verb or a dopey game played with a hollow rubber ball. Problem solved. Now go eat your pumpkin pie.

That's because Lenona can't or isn't interested in reading anything
other than what is posted on the internet. Instead of her taking her
butt to the store and actually picking up a can of pumpkin and READING
the label she resorts to some stupid internet article. And if it's a
death notice that REALLY gets her attention.

I've made pumpkin pie from Halloween pumpkins, sugar pumpkins and what
comes in a can. When I drained the pumpkin enough and used the right
mix of spices - they were exactly alike. Frankly, it's easier to use
what comes in the can.

You didn't read the snope thing, did you? I did. It was all about the
type of pumpkin used for canned and mentioned nothing about the benefit
to dogs (unless I missed it).

So anyway, years ago I made pumpkin pies from real fresh pumpkins twice.
First time cutting them up and boiling first. Second time baking one
then cutting it up. A total pain in the ass both times and neither
tasted better than canned pumpkin.

Then one year I tried a sweet potato pie. It tasted just about the same
- close enough for me and that's what I've made ever since. I can use
fresh sweet potatoes with no hassle - just as easy to use as canned and
you get to start with fresh produce.

Question for you (and Carol mentioned this once too): Do the dogs like
plain pumpkin or do you have to mix it in with their meaty food to
disguise it? Just wondering.

Works for cats too, pumpkin is rich in fiber, aids in constipation and
helps pass hairballs. Carrots wosrk too but you'd need to cook and
mash them... canned pumpkin is very convenient. I spoon portions on a
cookie sheet and freeze them, then transfer to a ziploc. They defrost
in about an hour in a pet bowl and not wosry about it spoiling if it
sits at room temperature all day. Pumpkin and carrots are sweet, cats
and dogs consider it candy. Corn works too, and you'll see it works.

================

Usually when someone cites snopes it is to prove you wrong I have
apologised.

I usually mix it with rice which will also help her stomach. If her stomach
is severely upset she needs to fast for at least a day. After that she is
so hungry she will eat anything)

The term pumpkin as seen on the can is much broader than the orange
round thing you find at the supermarket at Halloween.

Oh, I agree, but the Snopes article puts paid to the fact that the
canned pumpkin is made from Dickenson PUMPKIN:

http://www.snopes.com/canned-pumpkin...ually-pumpkin/

"According to botanists, however, asserting a clear distinction between
"pumpkin" and "squash" is difficult because there is no strict botanical
definition for pumpkins. Semantically, pumpkins are a type of squash,
and the Dickinson cultivar is listed as a pumpkin,"

I read it as saying that it is made from Dickenson pumpkin.
"WHAT'S TRUE: As much of 90 percent of pumpkin sold in the U.S. (and
85 percent worldwide) is a proprietary cultivar known as a Dickinson
pumpkin, which are less photogenic than the type of pumpkins commonly
used for display purposes."
Or am I reading you wrong?

I have had and made the sweet potato pie as pumpkin pie. It is quite similar. If I do it again, I'll try to stay away from the cinnamon, ginger, and cloves. Why make a fake pie or anything?

Shakespeare was similarly confused:

*"Let me not to the contents of thy can"*

Let me not to the contents of thy can
Add any spice mix. Squash is not squash
When altered by unbalanced minds,
Or mashed when the sweet cook doth remove:
O no; it is the ever-fixèd pumpkin,
Uncooked, ungarnished, and by Time undinted;
It is like gold to every plundering bumpkin,
Whose worth's unknown, although its price be printed.
Pumpkin’s tasty, though orange-hued and cheap
And from it spicy flavours sweetly come;
Squash alters not, doth neither wake nor sleep,
It’s worth cries out though it be deaf and dumb.
If this be error, and such claims are tosh,
Ne’er have I writ, and ne’er man ate of squash.

A yam type sweet potato pie tastes just like a pumpkin pie if the same spices are added to each.

No, you read it correctly. The canned pumpkin is a variety of pumpkin.
It's not pureed butternut squash as has often been alleged over the years.

Does anyone have that $250 Neiman Marcus cookie recipe?

Pumpkin and carrots are the only veggies that have much alpha carotene.

you bet! I can't remember whether it was one of the first things

or if it came as a mimeographed recipe. How about the Campbell's

As far as I am concerned butter nut can be a pumpkin they are all
squashes, pumpkins are the same family.

I think real pumpkins are in the same family as summer squash.

A couple of months ago, a few people gave a good explanation of American
terminology for pumpkin, winter squash and summer squash. I forgot all
about it, but it was interesting nevertheless.

I have not had Campbells tomato soup cake since I was a kid. I loved it.

Except Acorn squash. I never have good luck with those, they are
always stringy, watery and bitter. Every once in a while I get some
good ones and then foolishly I get some more and they are nasty. They
price is always right on the acorn squash. The butternut and others
are really pricey. I'd grow them myself but the squirrels get to
enjoy them before I do.

Never heard of that but my mother still makes meatloaf using it.
Old 50's - 60's recipe, I suppose.

The recipe is online. As I said earlier, I used to love it, but I have
not had it for years..... like more than 40 years.
