Gourds? - 2005/10/02 20:32
I saw some vegetables at the farm shop which I hadn't tried before so in = a moment of madness I just bought them. I now have no idea what to do = with them or what they are exactly.
I know that they are gourds, which can be called pumpkins in some = countries, but they aren't the big orange pumpkins popular at Halloween.
I've got four different varieties.
The first is a cream egg shaped one which is around the size of a = grapefruit.
Another looks like the top half of a normal pumpkin, and the botton half = resembling an alien made from 4 equal bumps.
The next is a small tennis ball shape with green and yellow stripes and = can be seen at http://www.being.com/gourd.jpg
And the last is an cream coloured globular alien being with a row of = pointy bobbles in a circle around the top a little like =

Does anyone know what they are called? Or how to use them?
Do I just use them like pumpkins or do I need any special recipes?
