Can You Tell Me What Kind of Squash This Is?
Jesse—Can you please try to help me identify a squash I recently got? It never occured to me to take a picture of it before I cooked it, and now it’s just a frozen flat light orange hunk labled “George P’s mystery squash,” but it is wonderful: very sweet and smooth textured after a run through the biggest holed disk in my food mill. It was smaller than a butternut, oval shaped, kinda yellow in color and with green stripes. I’ve seen similar looking stuff in the grocery store but the sign says that is a varient of spaghetti squash, which I know I don’t have.
I know exactly what kind of squash you had, it was a delicata! I’m 99% sure, anyway. You can verify by going to the article I wrote about squash for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and seeing if it looked like the squash at the bottom of the top photo.

The PG article helped me identify my mystery squash as well - yay for delicata. I ended up using it to make this dip, which was a big hit at a recent get-together.
