Yes, I'm sure the "su:tnivalo' to:k" is available in Canada. By your
description, it doesn't sound like a Hubbard or Turban squash, nor like an
English pumpkin.
I'm not familiar with the Buttercup squash. Actually, I though you meant
to say Butternut, which is usually sweet, and has been my favourite baked
squash for years. I'm just curious to know if the "su:tnivalo' to:k" is
sweeter.

Whew! I'm glad to hear that, Bob. One can never be too careful as to what
is planted in the garden.
