I don't eat much meat because I don't like the taste or the smell. I only eat chicken or beef but could easily live without it.

My favourite...

The Butternut Sqaush. I'm going to hazard a guess that it's Number 26. Particularly nice roasted with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and either rosemary or tarragon.

smurfboy which bit of that would i eat and which bit do I throw away?How long would you normaly roast it for? What does it taste similar to if anything? Thanks.

It's actually No.141, quite an obscure one. Lou it doesn't really taste like anything else except perhaps No. 142 Peanut Squash and cooked properly is delicious.

I was about to ask those questions lou. A lady I work with eats butternut squash a lot.

Cut out the soft seeded section and cook the firmer orange flesh. You can keep the skin on, but it takes longer to roast. I tend to peel it and roast it in big chunks for 20 - 25 mins.

The only thing I can really compare it to is swede; they are similar in texture, but squash doesn't have the somewhat bitter taste swede can have. It's sweeter. Imagine parsnip, swede and sweet potato combined in one vegetable!

Sounds lovely. Thanks for the help smurfy. I will buy one this weekend.
