Pumpkins are a type of squash. They're domesticated from the same plant, thus all pumpkins are squashes but not all squashes are pumpkins. Like all cattle are mammals. But we tend to use the more specific term when talking about food - ie this is cow meat (or beef) this is lamb meat, etc, instead of just labelling it "mammal meat" which could mean anything. Yes Butternut is a specific pumpkin, so 'Butternut pumpkin' and 'Butternut squash' will mean the same thing, but to me the phrase "Butternut squash" sounds as silly as "Wagyu mammal". In any case, it doesn't cost any more than Kent or Jarrahdale, so whatever pumpkin you want are usually similarly priced.
Dude.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
