Can I clarify something? When you guys talk about winter squash, you mean any of the squashes which fruit in winter, yes?
I'm just a little confused as round these parts we have a specific squash known as 冬瓜 (dōng guā), which literally means "winter squash". It is also known as the wax gourd (Benincasa hispida). Do you get them?
冬瓜- Winter Squash
Often served in soup.
