i had that souffle the other night - was ok but i think i prefer it in a mixed roast veg meal...

The problem I have with squashes, pumkins and marrows is that they look great but there use is very limited. A couple of each is all I can use. I find the taste dull and dont particulary like the texture and so turning them into something I enjoy takes some work.
I did try some butternut and gammon soup last year that I really enjoyed but cannot find the recipe. Has anyone else got one? The gammon compliments the squash and for once the squash didnot need roasting first.

I believe you can clean/wash/roast the squash seeds and eat them like pumpkin seeds too.

Yes you can.  And yummy they are, too!

I think that butternut squash,other less rich tasting squash  and pumpkins are not necessarily interchangable in reciepes and there are not as many reciepes as there are the many different kind of sqash that the non commercial grower produce.I have a basket of winter festival squash that I have grown for the first time so I will try some roasted first to see what it tastes like.If it`s OK I will keep at least 1 to see how long it keeps.The trouble with butternut is that it keeps for nearly a year and freezes beautifuly but I have never managed to grow enough to last that long.
