Name That Veg….

13 10 2008

                                                 

Can anyone help me to identify the above vegetable?

Even the woman in the shop had to get confirmation from a colleague. She did tell me, in French, but now I’ve gone and forgotten! And I’ve lost the receipt too.

I know it’s from the squash/gourd family, looks like an anaemic pumpkin that got sat on by an elephant, but beyond that, I’m stumped.

And if you have any ideas what I can do with it, I’d be very grateful.

Not sure really why I bought it…..it just looked nice, I suppose!

You will have to let us know what you do :)
or admit that you let it go mouldy!

I will!
Looks like it’ll be soup as I would think squash is too wet for vegey lasagne(my other recipe idea!)
