What can I put in a meal instead of pumkin?

Question

I'm having a dinner party and am serving pumpkin curry. However, I am having some difficulty tracking down pumpkins. Is there something I could use instead, for example a squash or other vegetable?

Answer 1

How about not serving pumpkin curry?  

Answer 2

Squash I imagine would be just fine... They are from the same gourd family that pumpkin is from I do believe..

You could try to buy canned pumpkin pie filling from the store that is usually available all year round...

and you could always try to drive around near some farms and see if any of their roadside veggie stands have any.

Answer 3

Why don't you just buy a can of pumpkin?

Answer 4

I suggest squash or even zucchini, in fact I prefer them over pumpkin.  You might be able to buy frozen pumpkin though.
