squash/pumpkin help needed...

[ratcreature]

Feeling slightly adventurous I bought this squash? pumpkin? of a kind that I've never eaten before. I don't know what it's called, because they were just labeled "miscellaneous squashes/pumpkins" (in German both are the same word) and there were a variety of them in the same bin, all for the same price. The one I got is quite small and white, and now I wonder what the best way to prepare it is. (I'm sure I could browse wikipedia for squash/pumpkin to identify it, and then google the name for recipes, but I'm lazy...)

Well, I'm as baffled as you! My go-to method for weird pumpkin-like things is to cut them in half, put them in the oven to roast, and scoop out the tender, tasty roasted flesh for ue in things like soup. Once it's roasted, if there's lots of tough skin or seeds, they're easy to remove.

Yes, baking seems a safe option. I think I'll try that tonight for dinner.
