YES! We call them butternut squash here in Blighty, amazing in soup! Blazor said to me that soup is a sad dish lol but I cannot get enough homemade soup lol especially with hot buttered bread... Scotland is cold and miserable especially in winter so i find hot soups extremely comforting...
Could not agree more. This past winter it was batch after batch of pea and ham soup. I use a smoked bacon hock that has tonnes of meat on it.... All the root veggies in it turnip, parsnip, swede, onion, potato and tiny amount of celery... a soup to die for. And of course, yellow split peas.
Don't take any notice of Americans, they eat rubbish.
