Cathy, as a general rule of thumb, winter squashes can substitute for each other, and summer squashes can substitute for each other. But it's a rare dish in which a summer squash can sub for a winter one, or vice versa. They are totally different textures and consistencies. Pumpkins, of course, are winter squash.
The exception: Young winter squash (before the hard shell forms) are sometimes used like summer squash.

I'm just curious what your favorit ethnic or regional food is, excluding your own.
For me it's North African, in general, and Moroccan in particular. I've come toit relatively late---just in the past couple of years---but it's getting to be obsessive. Just this week, for instance, I've made two tagines and various North African sides.
How about the rest of you?
I would have to go with Indian.

Don't count out the delightful and almost undiscovered Vietnamese cuisine. We have a lot of Pho (pronounced fa) soup places nearby and many of them now offer a lot of Vietnamese dishes besides the Pho Soup (which is great in itself). When I look at the menu in the Vietnam restaurants, I'm almost lost amoung the options. Yet, whatever I choose, I always get a great tasting meal. Yall out to try one out!
