Technically a Fruit

"Squashes are considered to be fruits because they contain seeds and develop from the flower-producing part of a plant. However, because they’re more savory than sweet, most people cook and prepare them like they’re vegetables." Therefore, I am entering this in the minimal challenge of vegetable.
Please do not expect this squash to travel the same path as the banana peel!
Brown sugar and butter bring out the fruit in a squash. So does apple juice or apples. But I eat as a vegetable. Lord knows I need all the help I can get to have vegetables in my diet.

I like to scoop out the seeds and goo and put maple syrup, pecans or walnuts, and dried cranberries in there before I bake it. Nicely captured and glad it's going to be eaten before it turns brown! (o;

Great capture and pov. I would never even consider making anything sweet with this only ever savoury.

One of my favorite foods. Prefer savory. Love roasted or made into soup.

@randystreat LOL great ideas and this one is so sweet it really doesn't need anything exrtra. We like it with butter and S&P
@olivetreeann I have never done that but it sounds so delicious Ann
@ludwigsdiana It is actually witing for another day or two but will be gone soon. Thank you Diana
@wakelys I just cook it and serve with S&P and butter. I did like the ideas of a couple of others though
@joansmor My husband , who is also from Maine, likes it with butter and S&P I am not sure if he would like the soup or not but I do
@briaan thank you so much Brian

I quite like this as a vegetable but now my mouth is watering at Ann’s suggestion @olivetreeann

Lovely minimalist shot. I like that you cut it to include the beginning of the larger base… it makes me think of a bell.

Oh nice clean photo of this. I am always a rebel regarding that topic. I still consider cucumbers, tomatoes, squash veggies. If it can’t be turned into a sweet pie it’s not a fruit. That’s my official nonofficial stance, but I won’t start a war on the topic lol.

@myhrhelper I tend to agree with you about that, however, my rules oriented side demands. I at least give credit to the topic. Thanks for your kind comments, Kathy.
