Very much so it is food. We paid big money in the restaurants for baby pattypan. Personally, I think it's hard to beat them cut into quarters, tossed in fresh chopped basil and garlic, salt and pepper and then roasted in a fast oven until tender and colored.

During the summer, I make a one-pot meal that we refer to as "garden delight". Okra, corn, onions, peppers, all kinds of squash ... pattypan, butternut, zucchini. I added some deer smoked sausage to this pot. Garden delight and a pan of cornbread is as good as it gets for easy.
