They are mild and delicious! We ate them green about the size of
baseballs.


Thanks.

Please report when you try them? :-)


Perhaps so.

We just sliced and steamed them, and served them with a bit of lemon
butter...


Ugh! I don't really like squash qua squash. It's OK as a texture in a
stew, though.


Whatever works for you. :-)

IMHO they are very similar in taste/texture to zuchinni but a bit milder
in flavor. I was delighted with them, but I _like_ squash. G

I never got around to trying them fried, but I like other summer
squashes that way. Sliced about 1/4" thick and lightly treated with an
egg wash and spiced flour, then fried in your choice of oils in a
skillet. Ours was butter and olive oil.

Cheers!
