Okay, I sliced and diced a trombetta today, and I have to report there was no film on the cutting board, knife, peeler, or my hands. The trombetta I used was one I harvested three days ago, and it wasn’t refrigerated during that time, so I am guessing the film has something to do with your Trombettas being juicier, newly harvested, or something else...more water as they grew??

VERY strange - mine were sitting on the counter a couple of days, a couple of them over a week. The weird juice situation appears to have gotten worse over time - I don’t recall the first trombettas harvested having this juice ‘problem’. I have at least two small ones on the vines - next time I’ll take pics of what the juice does on my hands.
I checked the garden a little while ago - I have several cucuzza babies that are growing rapidly - maybe up to 6 inches long already so I’m thinking some pollination took place! It seems to be feast or famine - too many or not enough. I like the cucuzza better for the stew so I hope I get some this time.
Just saw this - looks good, uses Trombetta & I have a ton of tomatoes to use up:

“Before the summer finishes, I want to share this amazing vegetable gratin dish with you. My interest in this recipe started as a way to get rid of my mountains of zucchini and trombetta di Albenga squash. Instead it became my favorite summer dish.”
