I made split pea dal with beerakaya day before yesterday (which, I've consumed without even taking a picture. Lazy me). I've not tried acorn squash in cooking although I've made baby food out of it for my daughter. Would try this. Thanks for the recipe. Hi Indira, what a coincidence!

I actually never tasted any of these American squash/pumpkim, I just want to know that do they all taste like our yellow Indian pumpkin or different. If you can tell me that then I can make try these recipes. <i>Hi Radha: The pumpkin I used for this recipe, acorn variety has a sweet taste, like cantalope but has a strong pumpkin smell. Buttercup squash also suits this recipe. They all taste almost like our pumpkin. Hope this helps. - Indira</i> Hi Indira,

It's a very independent documentary about a man who grows giant pumpkins, following him from seed to competition. BTW, giant pumpkins taste dull. You probably wouldn't want to eat one anyway because of all the chemicals, fertilizers, and bug repellents they use. Hi, If you liked Lords of the Gourd, you should check out Bill’s Big Pumpkins.
