Talk:Acorn squash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There seems to be a redirect from Cucurbita pepo to this page, when many other kinds a squash, including spaghetti squash are the same species of squash. Though I am not an expert of Cucurbita pepo, I do like to cook them, I would be willing to fix it up a bit. Either linking Cucurbita pepo to the squash page, or start a winter squash page. --User:Sven Heinicke 2004-12-30.

Clearly the whole thing needs cleaned up. I just looked at squash (fruit) and it needs a good discussion of what squashes are which species. A winter squash page would just confuse things further since several different species would fall under that category and the summer squashes are largely C. pepo, which includes many winter squashes. I would vote for everything including C. pepo, C. maxima, and C. mixta pointing to a general squash page and then give a good discussion of the different species and the varieties in them. Good luck! -- WormRunner | Talk 16:32, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Why is is called acorn squash? --radiojon 05:14, 2003 Sep 5 (UTC)

Article says it due to the shape but its not like any acorn I've seen nor any on the Acorn page. --JBellis 21:04, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
