Here is a nice look at all the varieties. From the photo of the banana squash

in the link above, they remind of the look on the outside, of a spagetti squash.

I love butternut squash, acorn and buttercup squash especially well, so now I

will be on the look out for these banana squash and will buy a turban squash.

It is such a cool looking winter hard squash.

Those banana squash are always cut in pieces and sold. Looks like a butternut

squash inside. Tastes almost the same.

I don't remember ever seeing banana squash before.

I've not cooked with the Turban squash before. I'll have to oil one up though

to add to my decorations.

You can eat them. They are not really sweet or flavorful like butternut or

banana squash. They are more thick skin and hollow inside and rather dry. I use

them for decoration, I rub some olive oil in the skin and they shine. To use for

a meal they are more bother to open and cook than they are worth, almost need a

chainsaw to open and expensive to buy.

That's my opinion of them lol

I've always been curious about those turban-shaped squash. Do they

taste good or are they just ornamental?

 

Peace,

Diane
