I ordered a koginut squash from What's Good because it's a variety I hadn't even heard of.

[personal profile] cattitude cooked this for dinner tonight. When he sliced it open, it looked like a very orange acorn squash. He prepared it the way we usually cook squash: halved, baked cut side down, and then when it's almost ready, take it out of the oven, turn it over. put in butter and maple syrup, and bake for a couple of minutes before taking it out of the oven again and serving it.

We both liked it: the flavor is similar to acorn squash but a bit more intense. It's a little stringier (though still not very stringy), and Cattitude notes that the prep was a bit more work, in scraping out the seeds and other stringy bits from the cavity.

We will probably get more of these, if the opportunity presents itself.

We really like delicata squash. I knew I'd found a winner when my husband (who eats squash because he's polite and he loves me) asked if there was any more.

Will have to see if I can get a koginut.
