Marrow and butternut squash

[jeanette1976]

What do these vegtables taste like? I imagine the marrow to lack taste and be similar to a courgette and the squash to be like a mixture of carrots and turnip? Also, do they need peeling?

I'll buy one of each either way but I just wanted to see if anyone could tell me before i wasted my money.

Thanks! X

Marrow - courgette on steriods - good stewed and stuffed, or roasted. See the other replies to recent Q's for this.

Squash - a good one is really nice - sweet flesh, not to stringy (unless you get he spaghetti squash which really is like spag) and goes well with a load of other flavourings. 500 recipes here: http://www.astray.com/recipes/?search=butternu t+squash

Roasted, boiled, add to soups, can be curried, baked, stuffed or just diced and used as a side.

Skip the animal flesh and go for the veg for a change......
