Squash

Deep-fried squash chips are surprisingly good. A little bit of salt and it's wonderful. Even with a bit of the stringy inside bits... That stuff crisps up really nicely.

I've never been a big fan of squash, but I probably didn't have the right sort of experiences. Not like a squash-tasting party.

I really liked the Delicata squash. The Butternut squash was really good as well. Buttercup squash, I wasn't quite as fond of, although I admit is was better steamed than baked.

Baked squash seeds were nice as well. Again, the Delicata wins out. They had a surprising sweetness to them.

And you know, puréed butternut squash with maple syrup and blueberries makes a really nice dessert. I'd never have guessed.
