The meaning of the acorn and the pumpkin is do not question the way the world works because God knows better than we do. Before the peasant took a nap under the acorn tree, he laughed at God's creation. He stated that a tree as big as an acorn tree surely would have been better fit for something large, like pumpkins, to grow on. However, he later found that he was mistaken. An acorn dropped on his nose, causing it to bleed, making him realize that had it been a pumpkin, he would not have been as fortunate. That is why at the end of the poem he says,"God knows His business after all, no question!", because he realized he does not know more than God does. and he should not question Him.

Is squash pie more popular than pumpkin pie?

No, pumpkin pie is much more common that squash pie. The reason may or may not be related, but since I've made both, I can tell you the a butternut or acorn squash (the kind used for making pie) is far tougher to prepare than a pumpkin. A butter nut or acorn squash is quite delicious baked and eaten right out of it's own shell, while a pumpkin isn't quite as tasty on its own.

Which vegetable was used in the past instead of pumpkin?

Many squashes can substitute for pumpkin as they all tend to have a very light flavor that is easily defined by the spices applied. Delicato, acorn, butternut, even sweet potatoes or yams for example, can be used to make "pumpkin" pies that will fool most everyone.
