Today I had roasted butternut squash for the first time in my life. Bloody gorgeous. Why have I never had it before ?

I'm trying to grow some but nothing happening. Any tips out there?
Roasted butternut squash is indeed a wonderful, wonderful thing. Welcome to the enlightened side.

What did you do with it? I like it in a risotto with parmesan cheese and sage. Or stuffed with chopped mushrooms and thyme. It also makes great soup. And you can even make cake with it. Yum.

plant seeds in spain and water daily

Plant seeds and treat as the other members of the Cucurbitaceae family. I am growing 3 plants on my plot as we speak. The spiel on the seed packet suggests that, once picked, stored in a cool dry place, they will keep for four months.
I'm not sure if i'm going to like them but this will cement my relationship with the fragrant and well planted, Mrs Vegster

Cut in two, scoop out the seeds, lightly drizzle with olive oil then bake for about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, fry up a thinly sliced red onion with a grated courgette and some sliced mushrooms. Fry this mixture until golden brown then season well and add some crumbled feta cheese. Then put the fried mixture in the scooped out squash, crumble a bit more feta on the top and bake for 10-15 minutes and you have a hearty meal.
Only discovered butternut squash recently myself, so definitely on the lookout for some more recipes. My favourite is sweet potato, which I had this evening roasted with loads of other veggies then stirred into cous cous with half a pot of pesto...well tasty!

Sounds a bit light on manly curry ? can this be served with a Madras or Jalfriezi filling ?

Of course, definitely a versatile vegetable, would go well with something like tandoori chicken...I usually have roast sweet potato with jerk chicken, rice and peas, for a Caribbean feast!

Strange, as I'm growing next to Courgettes, and they are growing really well, but not a sausage with the Squash. At least I'll get to try out the fried courgette flowers with cream cheese!

In my experience they grow easily in this part of the world.
If you like a good 'mash' then try a mixture of mashed BS, mashed potato, mashed parsnip all with a tablespoonful of horseradish !
Yum

It's vile, as soon as the first bit of it touches my tongue I feel like vomiting 
And it looks like a really odd penis

I love the stuff but can't get anyone else in my family to like it.
Idiots.

I've tried and tried to like sweet potato but failed. I hate the taste.

Sweet Potato is fantastic, roasted with some Rosemary and olive oil, and garlic
