sorry flowergirl, i was being a bit facetious there - no offence meant.

guess you would have to scrape out the innards somehow or surely it would rot.  there must be something on the web about drying gourds as they keep those for ornamental purposes, and they're all from the same family.

I think its a 'Jack-be-Little' squash. You can cut the top off, remove the seeds and stuff it with the lid on. Bake, the skin is also tender and you can eat the lot.


You may need a couple per person though  :wink:  :D
