Looks like a small Boston Marrow.
Thanks, I’d check them out...
I had a friend who gave me two 10 lb. bags of these. Tried them and they were very good, but they were very go at giving gas. So, gave them to the Mexicans who worked in our packing plant. They like them.
Why I support a repository of seeds (regardless of the politics behind it).
Well, this is taken from a site called ' Wimp '. LOL...
Not exactly the NYT, which would have put some reference to global warming is the reason they were extinct in the first place..
Like this one...?

You obviously haven’t tried my squash soup or zucchini bread. Likely, it’s the stronger flavored squashes that turn you off or the summer ones that are boiled to death. Saute the summer ones with onions leaving a little bite to them makes all the difference.
Winter Squash Soup - Saute one or two stalks of chopped celery and half an onion chopped. Then puree them. Bake a couple delicata squash and a couple sweet dumpling squash (probably any lighter flavored variety of winter squash will do). When soft, seed them and scoop out the flesh and add to the blender mixture. Also add, up to a cup of cream, a spoon of chicken bouillon (I use the Knorr powder), garlic salt to taste, cayenne to taste, and water if it’s too thick but not much because you want it really thick. Puree all ingredients.
People have been genetically modifying veggies since the Middle Ages. Not a thing wrong with it.
That’s what it looks like - a cross between a zuke and a pumpkin.
The students grew it large to save the seeds. Bet it tastes better at a smaller size.
“I call BS! There is no such thing as “delicious†squash.”
Butternut?
That's why I tend to ignore Monsanto GMO frankenfood horror stories...
Consider that Monsanto seeds feed half the world today, they could potentially harm millions of people by selling something without lots of research...
I do however think they are moving in a direction that needs to be tracked...
What scares me is the tinkering going on with making designer babies. A lot of that is happening in China, so there will be no tracking that. With science, once something can be done, there will be somebody who will do it.
Happy New Year, greeneyes!
They were rare because they were man-eating squash. Whatever you do, don’t plant any! Oh, wait....
It's Sasquash!
As you say...
I’m sure you think squash is delicious. I do not. I put squash in the same category as cauliflower, liver, and pumpkin. There is nothing you can do to make them delicious.
The only problem with that is the pumpkins will take over your garden.
Summer squashe/ zuchini are great added to chili too :)
(add them when the chili is almost done)
If you haven’t tried Seminole pumpkin , you should.
Harvested just before it turns it’s peach color it is very flavorful squash , once it turns peach it’s a nice flavorful sweet pumpkin great for pies etc
Or grill thick slices, seasoned any way you want, along side large portabella mushrooms seasoned like you would a steak. Great when you want to eat light and still enjoy the flavor.
