Has anyone eaten one of these odd squash? I cooked one for tea last night, cut in half, stuffed with spicy rice and mozzarella with a bit of sesame oil on top and baked for a couple of hours. There's a pic in the album (http://www.allotment-garden.org/forum/album_pic.php?pic_id=321) in case you've not seen one before.
I was expecting a taste and texture a bit like butternut, but it was exactly like.... MASH!! :shock: Fabulous with butter and black pepper.
Is it supposed to be like that, or was it not fully ripe? We've had no ill effects, in fact I felt better this morning than I have for a few days! Strange.

yes i have grown and still grow them as they stroe very well over winter and when they are large and ripe for storing they tend to taste a bit like swede which for some reason will not grow on my plot . as for the turks i think for storing they are great but the skins do get hard yours big green bloke
