Their close relationship to the zucchini is revealed in their appearance and taste. This variety can be prepared with the skin on, if young, and is exported mainly by India; but Sicily also has especially long varieties.

Are you sure you should risk it?

' The fruit pulp around the seeds has been used as an emetic and a purgative and sometimes given to horses.'

Although if it's true there's probably an export market to Hollywood :lol:

just tasted some raw, pretty tasteless. I'll go with gourd, very little meat after removing the seed pulp and i've had less trouble cutting a pumpkin!

Oh well, what a let down!, i might still grow some if only for a talking piece.

Feel free to post anything elese you find.........except you VB, you dirty dirty boy.

Not sure what you mean. I know Don Burke is an ugly prick - but surely he doesn't warrant such a heavy handed censurship act???

You know what gourds are used for by tribal males in Papua New Guinea...?

http://www.rhymer.net/New%20Folder/gourd1.htm

Most standard sized Aussie "widgets" would be lost in using the one that you posted!

Culture is so interesting.

I have travelled a little, and it very interesting that good manners in one culture is not acceptable in another.

BTW I am not going to try "dressing up" in a butternut or Ironbark pumpkin!

As my daughters would say ....

EEEWWWW! YUK!

that is one hell of a zucchini :shock:
(:sheepish grin: If ever you have 3 or 4 seeds spare I would gladly take them off of your hands ;) )
You would get several meals out of that beauty!
