I bought a buttercup squash when I meant to buy a butternut squash. Whoops.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I've never heard of a buttercup squash. It sounds little.

The good news is, buttercup squash is delicious!
(I had both tonight and preferred the buttercup.)
Kat, it looks kind of like a flat acorn squash. Tastes like a sweeter heartier butternut.

Looks sort of like a acorn squash but flatter. I guess it's similar to a butternut, so I'm good.

Is it easier to peel than an acorn squash? I find acorn squash hard to peel, but I like it better than butternut, so I usually use it anyway, but then I lose a lot of the squash's meat because I'm lazy with the scraping.

No idea - I just chopped mine in half and scooped out the seeds and baked it with butter & salt/pepper. Judging from how well it held its shape in the oven, I think it would be a giant PITA to peel.

Because books.
Why does it require handwaving for him to be British?
It doesn't, really. I just usually expect them to mention things like that if they're not consistent. But that's rarely true in movies, so I don't know *why* I expect it.
