I had had no idea what you meant by an 'acorn squash' so did a google and found out that its a winter squash http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acorn_squash so that (and the butternut) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butternut_squash is what we Australians would just put under the name of pumpkins. Pumpkin is a staple foodstuff here in Oz and a very popular vegetable. Pumpkin is very, very rarely served here in any sweet form except for Pumpkin Scones (and they have become somewhat of a joke) We're in Maryland, USA. My wife cooks pumpkins like squash, served as a vegetable at dinner. She also makes excellent pumpkin pies. We tried making custard in a pumpkin shell once; I liked it but she didn't think it was worth the effort, other than for the novelty of the presentation. http://www.cooks.com/recipe/m92cx4xc...n-custard.html If we have a good pumpkin crop, we keep some to throw to the sheep as a treat during the winter.
