Want to make a gramma pie like my dear old mum used to make when I was a
kid. However I'm having trouble tracking down a gramma - I've tried Vic
Market (Melb) but the vendors look non-plussed when I mention it. I recall
that a gramma looked like a butternut pumpkin, but is that what it is? Or
is it something different? Google hasn't helped

The gramma is in the pumpkin family so butternut pumpkin will do.

It is a long thinnish orange vegetable with a bulge at the bottom end.

U????

i've seen them straight and curved. i suppose they grow either curly or
straight depending on how they feel on the day.
