Winter squash

a good place to bring the rankings together because we covered quite a bit of ground, but there are a few other foods worth mentioning before we finalize the board.

We've got things like winter squash, corn tortillas, and a few practical carbohydrate options that don't necessarily deserve an entire extended discussion.

And then I want to show what this actually looks like when you're putting together meals for Nativity Fast.

Perfect.

No more surprises.

So to close it out, we have two more foods worth mentioning.

We have winter squash, including butternut, acorn, pumpkin, that general family.

Right.

I'm Viki Merrick, The Local Food Report's up now with Elspeth Hay, and this time something from our archive: a glossary of winter squashes on Cape Cod.

Winter squash is everywhere these days.

I find it in my soup and folded into pies.

It's hidden in the guise of muffins and sweet breads.

Next up, Tim Friary of Cape Cod Organics Farm in Barnstable.

Uh, let's see, squash, we got delicatas, uh, acorn squash, and buttercup.

These are the other top three winter squash varieties.

Delicatas are oblong, covered in a thin, pale yellow skin marked with dark green stripes.

... beautiful quote

... we, we sort of dissed on winter squash and said they weren't worth the effort, la-di-

Yeah

... la-di-la-di, you know.

I think he's in Kansas, and he wrote-

Mm-hmm

... "I saw your winter squash episode and the one on gardening to stay happy, healthy, and wise.

Both are close to home for me."
