What to do with squash?

I remember a Brit I worked with years ago, he said the Brits didn't eat pumpkin or squash. He said it was cow fodder only. I disagree.

Brits didn't used to eat them but in the last maybe 15 years or so they have gained in popularity. So much so, that butternut squash is to be found in most supermarkets. I'm not a huge fan to be honest. I think it needs pairing with punchy flavours to get the best from it.
 
That's how you get their apples!


They can be a real pain to peel. Most popular things I can think of are soup (puréed), roasted (easy), or in a ravioli (or mixed in with pasta).

Seriously, though, I do have a dead easy apple cake. Comes together in a couple of minutes, it's just a single layer, no frosting, perfect for tea. Might be a good way to get your feet wet. Let me know if you want it.

Yes please

You don't need to peel butternut squash if you are roasting it. I didn't peel it for this dish:
