This squash is more like a pumpkin. I really don't know why "squash," depending on the country can mean either something like a zucchini or something like a pumpkin.Haalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291206056540101155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-84693268021214700342008-12-08T18:13:00.000+01:002008-12-08T18:13:00.000+01:00Hi Haalo,Thanks for a great idea for my Ladies Boo...Hi Haalo,<BR/>Thanks for a great idea for my Ladies Book Club Dinner being held Wednesday 10 Dec 2008. Shall be stuffing gems for 28 people. However, I being from South Africa, have never seen either your "acorn" or "gem" squash as picture. Our gem squash is always green, round,(no ridges) yellow pulp with a buttery flavour. Do you have a different name? However, it will suit your recipe to the Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17026336377833253030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-65661157605420035172007-06-04T07:32:00.000+02:002007-06-04T07:32:00.000+02:00Thanks Evelin - you could probably use the filling...Thanks Evelin - you could probably use the filling in many different vegetables.Haalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291206056540101155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20759216.post-54931113044651290342007-06-03T22:08:00.000+02:002007-06-03T22:08:00.000+02:00This is definitely something I'd like to make.

I love your creamy spinach stuffing too (being a long-time fan of butternut stuffed with spinach and feta!). The photos are absolutely beautiful too.<BR/><BR/>Shame on the grower for confusing the public though!
