Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 Do you think they would grow way up north here in Oregon? They sound so interesting and I have never seen them in our grocery store. (we only have one) My thought was if I started them inside and then planted in June I may have a couple to try out. Hmm..

My Grandpa used to grow the banana squash in Mexico. I never see the whole squash in the markets. They cut it up, wrap the pieces in saran and sell them. Those squash are really large and heavy, if you have a whole one you will be eating it for 2 weeks. It tastes like butternut. I bake it, I like butter and cinnamon on it. Or you can steam it and remove the steamed pulp and eat. Chico , " wwjd " <jtwigg wrote: > > http://whatscooking america.net/ squash.htm > 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. > Judy > - > thelilacflower@ ... > Vegetarian Group > Monday, October 13, 2008 8:52 PM > Re: [vegetarian_ group] Re: Diane turban squash Re: Hard Squash ? > > > Those banana squash are always cut in pieces and sold.

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 > Donna > Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile > > > " strayfeather1 " <otherbox2001@ ...> > > Tue, 14 Oct 2008 01:13:12 > <> > [vegetarian_ group] Re: Hard Squash ? > > > I've always been curious about those turban-shaped squash.
