Squash = a fruit Juice in uk (commonly a orange squash)

are u kiddin me??

u never heard of squash as in the veggie?

 

yeah we got squash peg,........

i like to wrap the small green ones (i think there South African) in foil with butter and leave it on the back of the bbq for an hour....

 

no, orange squash is a veg? i supose u could have this argument with a tomato, although tomato is a fruit alot of people think its veg. if any of you ever watched Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstalls (river cottage) he explained how to tell the diffrence between fruit and veg, i will see if i can dig it out so i can explain to you all

 

a strawberry is unique too

and fallinto a strange catergory,....

i think its cos its seeds are on the outside

so not really a fruit like any other

 

Splenda - this sweetener is known in the UK as Canderel. Might be easier to say, "A teaspoon of sweetener".

KS

 

the little green ones are a winter squash called "green hubbard"...

also the "spagetti squash" is ecxellent too,....

i,ll look for piccies in a mo....

only method i know is

cut it in half,

knob of butter inside

put it back together

wrap it in foil
