marcicat | squash: a reckoning

Things I Like About Delicata Squash:

1. it’s so pretty!

2. don’t need to peel it!

3. super easy to scoop out the seeds!

4. high seed-to-stringy-bits ratio, making it So Worth It to pull out the seeds and toast them!

5. eating the toasted seeds!

On The Other Hand:

1. not actually crazy about the flavor of the squash itself

Is it possible that I am just not a squash person? I’ve always had a lukewarm affection for summer squashes, but I wouldn’t cry a river if I could never eat them again. And I figured my lack of love for the winter squashes was just a lack of exposure, which was supported by the fact that when I tried butternut squash last year, I liked it! Butternut still gets my seal of approval, but I’m skeptical of the others I’ve tried. (Acorn squash was a particular disappointment. It’s so cute! But tastes gross!) And now with my delicata experiment… I’m beginning to think that me and squash may not be meant to be.
