Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Thanks Donna! I'm way too lazy to work that hard if it's not going to taste good LOL. They look so neat though.

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.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Those banana squash are always cut in pieces and sold. Looks like a butternut squash inside. Tastes almost the same.

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

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Hard squash is excellent for tempura or grilling since the high heat works well to extract the natural sugars. It is not as sweet as some but a lovely addition to a tempura or grilled plate. Quote
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2008 Report Posted October 13, 2008 Sorry, what is considered " hard squash " ? I love zucchini and yellow squash.
