Butternut Squash

What is it and what do you do with it?

[5029]

easiest way to prepare it is to cut it with an electric knife and nuke it in the microwave until it is soft and similar to turnip

[bobbobley]

its a pumpkin and is lovely baked, mashed or roasted. Like any other food, its probably best if you don't subject it to microwaves before eating it as 5029 suggests just because this is not as good for you.

do NOT have a food fight with it. it stains really badly.

So Cardinal, there are two uses for it.. food and clothes dye!

I have found the best way to eat it. Grated and microwaved with a knob of butter. It helps if you have an electric grater though because it's quite hard. It's really nice served like this as a vegetable or instead of potato.

Really great in Thai Curry.

Nice roasted like parsnips and eaten with roast beef.
