    I used to work at a farmer's market and we always sold a ton of weird-ass gourds in the fall. Never eaten a turban squash before. What did it taste like?

    So cool, it looks like something off a randomly generated planet in a space video game.

    How did it turn out in the end? Are these things tasty?

    It's a turban squash and is probably something like 10" wide. I tried cutting it into cubes and peeling, which I should know is futile with most squash but gat damn the skin is THICKKKKKK. So I gave up and am roasting because it would probably take me 2 hours to do it the hard way.

    Gonna put it in some Thai curry with spinach, Tofu, and avocado.

    What is that thing? Some kind of pumpkin?

    I grew some very good butternut squash this year. Weird gourds are fun

      It's turban squash! It is weird as hell lol. Never eaten it before so hoping it's not too bland. Gourds ARE cool, I used to work at a cool organic grocery and we would carry soooo many varieties I'd never seen before. My all time fave is Red Kuri squash!

      That's awesome that your harvest turned out! I've been neglecting my garden bed but maybe I'll get out there for spring
