I believe we covered this at one point and decided that pumpkins as we know
them--the big orange lovely things--are New World. However, many squashes
that were period would impart the same flavour if cooked like a pumpkin pie.
And, in commercial piemaking factories, a lot of the pumpkin that comes
canned today has more squash to it then pumpkin. Someone told me once they do
that because it gives a better color to the pie.
