Pumpkins are considered to be drier, coarser and strong-flavored compared to squash and are therefore used differently in cooking. "Pumpkin" should be used to define any edible fruit of any species of Cucurbita utilized when ripe as a table vegetable or in pies, and not generally served as a baked vegetable. The term "pumpkin" is also associated with the holloween Jack-O-Lantern, and refers to fruit of any Cucurbita species (usually orange-skinned), used for that purpose.
