So in the USA how do you distinguish pumpkins from winter squash? Is
pumpkin a subset of winter squash or are some pumpkins not also winter
squash?


Squash that is to be used fresh is summer squash. Squash with hard skins
that can be saved are winter squash.

So far so good. What is the difference between a winter squash and a
pumpkin?
