What in the name of Squash?!

It's Squash season and there are so many different types out there, some that I've never even noticed before. Both me and Aubergine get our fruit and vegetables delivered weekly by the good people over at Riverford, they specialise in organic produce and if you visit food festivals, you will probably have seen them. They were selling barbecued sweetcorn in the Abergavenny one!

Riverford were offering Squash boxes and we debated whether or not to get one and in the end decided to go for it. What we didn't expect tho, was for to receive so many!

Even the delivery man commented that we got extra food. Lucky squashes keep for a while because we certainly can't eat all this in a week!


I'm no Squash expert but here are the varieties we received:


 I actually don't know what this one is, so if you do please leave the answer below ^_^


These were the smallest ones there and this is the Crown Prince variety? Again, don't quote me on this!


Again , I don't know what these are called! But super cute looking tho :P


These ones are Green Kabachas, or Japanese Squash. This is delicious Tempura style but can also be made into soups or desserts.


These are the Harlequin variety, there was one variety that didn't taste very nice but I can't remember which one it was. I just hope it wasn't one of these because we have so much to eat.

Look out for Squash related posts using these, I'm thinking Green Kabacha Croquette will taste delicious!
