Does it look like this ?

[Carmenere]

Squash is like a pumpkin as in butternut squash

[oranges]

its yellow courgette honest, friends could not identify it in their veg box either.

[Carmenere]

Is it one of these ?

[meowmix]

sounds like a spaghetti squash to me - whatever you do don't boil it.... goes like marrow, shudder. that said I've honestly never found a nice way to cook it!

[ComeOVeneer]

That is what I was thinking carmenere. Aren't they called patti pan, or something?

[trinityrhino]

what are these veg boxes that you speak of????? i want one

[Carmenere]

Oh I love spaghetti squash, halved, deseeded, roasted, and then the strands tossed in melted butter and a little chilli powder, yum!

[Carmenere]

Yep those little ones are called pattipan.

[trinityrhino]

tell me tell me tell me tell me

[Carmenere]

I know! Raggydoll Where are you???

[Carmenere]

Oh sorry TR do you mean about the veg boxes? They are the ones you get delivered weekly by organic veg companies, I think?

[trinityrhino]

ooo I want one, how do you get one, whats it all about?

[Carmenere]

Do a search, Able and Cole do them and cover most areas in the South East. Have a look here

[Raggydoll]

wow... sorry everyone - didnt realise i would generate so much interest. my veg box is organic and by a company called boxfresh.

let me just read the other replies and see if i can work out what my yellow objects are

[Raggydoll]

not an acron squash carmenere... it doesnt have those segments

[ediemay]

yellow courgette is my guess too

[Raggydoll]

yes - its does look like a yellow courgette - same stalk and skin BUT mine are more squat like a pepper not long like a courgette.... is it still a yellow courgette?

[Legacy]
