You can make a good pumpkin pie from winter squash. (Most canned pumpkin
from the store isn't really from pumpkins anyway.)

I hear this occassionally. The labels don't seem to bear this out. The
ones I buy say "pumpkin" not "butternut squash" or some such. Given
that winter squashes and my stomach don't get along but pumpkin is ok,
you'd think I would respond to the canned squash masquerading as
pumpkin. So, where did you get them impression that "most canned
pumpkin isn't really from pumpkins".
