What's the nuttiest squash?

[bario1]

I don't mean the stupidest looking, or the one most likely to wear a Hawaiian shirt to a funeral, I mean which has the nuttiest flavour? The nuttiest I've tasted was Harlequin - I'm not a fan of sweet flavoured veg, so this is my favourite so far, but which other varieties are nice and savoury? (I'm only talking about winter squashes).

Gem Squash .... (they are baseball size)

I have not often seen them here in shops, but they are a staple diet in south africa (cut in half, remove the seeds, boil in salted water (with the skin) until the flesh is soft, add a bit of salt, fill with tinned sweetcorn, a bit of grated cheese ontop and place in the oven till heated



waitrose are advertising them now:

Waitrose gem squash - Waitrose



these are the nuttiest flavour I have had .... I will try growing some next year

Thanks Dim, I have grown 'Rolet' this year that look very similar to that, but I haven't tried one yet!

I was going to recommend Harlequin but see you've already had that one

Potimarron is chestnutty flavoured.....

Red kuri squash - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was going to say Uchiki Kuri - but according to Wiki, it's the same thing

Hooligan is very chestnutty.
