We have butter, and we have nuts…

I just came across this odd butternut squash photo I took a couple weeks ago (I think the poor quality of the photo is why I never actually blogged about it then, even though the squash curry I made out of it was delicious!). Anyway, it reminded me of something I saw on a TV show as a child. I think it was Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood (in the make believe world), but I’m not sure. It was a scene in a restaurant, or something like that, and it took place between two puppets. It went something like this:
Puppet #1: Excuse me, miss, do you have any butternut squash?
Puppet #2: Just a minute, sir. I’ll go check.
(Puppet #2 goes away and comes back.)
Puppet #2 (holding up a container of butter and a container of nuts): I’m sorry, sir. We have butter, and we have nuts, but we don’t seem to have any butternut squash.
Does anyone else remember this? Just curious. 
I don’t remember the show but then I am in the UK. It is quite cute though!
I wonder why they are called butternut squash?
Hmmm…for some reason I’m remembering Sesame Street. Could that have been it?
Sophie - good question! I might just have to do a little research and try to find out.
Grace - that’s entirely possible. I was a fan of both shows back then.
Ha! What a giggle. It seems like we are both putting Monday morning laughs on our sites (I guess I’m not the only one needing it!).
Cheers.
