Do you ever experiment by eating/using vegetables in non-traditional manners? Did it work or not?
After vine borers killed my Kakai pumpkin vines a couple of years ago, I sliced up the immature pumpkins (up to softball size) and ate them as raw crudites with a dip. Works with other immature winter squashes as well. Very good. ![]() Last week I made Kielbasa bean soup and added some okra seeds to it. ![]()

I guess the Narragansetts knew something when they named it askutasquash (a green thing eaten raw). Gary Last edited by Tormato; January 29, 2009 at 02:10 PM. |

Ruth, I also use immature winter squash, in stir fries, shish kabobs, as well as soup or stew. I think you could also pickle them, although I have never tried it.
