Nice to have decent neighbours. It could be a turnip, not all go dual colour, possibly swede too. Last edited by: gordonbennet on Sun 25 Sep 11 at 13:46 Reply to this message | Report message

>>It could be a turnip, not all go dual colour, possibly swede too<< Could well be gb, I'll have to ask Betty, but at the mo she's out early & back late b'cos her skin n' blister has just had a ginormous cist removed from her ovaries :( Betty herself is no spring chicken either - needs a stair/chair lift to get upstairs!

We're all going to get older and more frail whether we like it or not, i like the sound of Betty mind, a proper stick....you'll be able to repay the kindnesses in the winter when you're the only one able to get about. Is it the cist from the Sist then..:-) Reply to this message | Report message

Looks more fruit than root to me - there's a scar at the right-hand end that looks like where a stalk was attached. Could it be a squash or gourd of some kind? Reply to this message | Report message

Looks like some sort of squash to me. Over here they tend to use them as table decorations, rather than eat them. Reply to this message | Report message

"Though considered a vegetable in cooking, botanically speaking, squash is a fruit (being the receptacle for the plant's seeds)". "The English word "squash" derives from askutasquash (a green thing eaten raw), a word from the Narragansett language, which was documented by Roger Williams, the founder of Rhode Island, in his 1643 publication A Key Into the Language of America. Similar words for squash exist in related languages of the Algonquian family such as Massachusett". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squash_(plant) Reply to this message | Report message

I'd guess it's a squash too. Good for soup or, seeds and skin removed, roasting with other veg like carrots, parsnips or sweet potatoes. Reply to this message | Report message

Its a squash, almost certainly the variety known as vegetable spaghetti. If you cut it open you will find long noodle like strands which can be cooked Reply to this message | Report message

I was thinking along the same lines actually, that's why it's still on my kitchen worktop, can't be too careful these days, can you. I'll give it to the wife later, see if she developes any symptoms, like. Reply to this message | Report message

Don't get your hopes up too high Dog. Have grown them and they are interesting novelty but wouldn't bother again. Butternut squash far superior. Reply to this message | Report message

Roasted butternut squash is lovely: just make sure you use either 1 cal. spray oil or a mere smidgen of other oil, or the result will be too greasy to enjoy. Last edited by: Roger on Mon 26 Sep 11 at 14:30 Reply to this message | Report message

It would be a very small spaghetti squash - the ones I have grown were all large melon sized .... Cannot wait to see the autopsy pictures! Incidentially, white aubergine doesn't work as it has not got the leaves on one end, which are usually very well attached! Reply to this message | Report message
