What does yellow squash taste like?

Answer 1

I've heard people describe it as "meaty", but I definitely never got that impression. But then, I made my mind up not to like it when I was a kid, and you know how that turns out a few years down the road....I still need to try it with a fresh mind.

But if you still have little kid tastes you'll find it to be squishy, squashy (duh), a little stringy, too yellow, and just really gourd-y.

But I've heard proponents of eating squash describe it as meaty as in savory and maybe also in texture, as I said, and surely buttery as it must be so aptly named, but I'm not the most reputable source since I haven't dared eat it for several years.

Really though if you want to know you should just cook some up and try it. Because describing a sensation and especially your own perception is difficult at best, even for a poet, and always misleading to someone or another.

On second thought, have someone else cook it for you. Someone who's done it before...because if you f|_|ck (sorry, had to do that because this c|_|nt of a website is afraid of something as silly as words) it up and end up hating it, it might not be the squash's fault at all!

Answer 2

It tastes different with butter and brown sugar. It tastes mushy and healthy, when it's cooked with brown sugar and butter. I bet it tastes good, go to your nearest grocery store or market and go pick one up and taste it for yourself!

Answer 3

It would be much better to do a Google image search on this. However, it generally has a beige or creamy coloured rind and is elongated but fat on one end and then thinner, so it has a sort of bulb on one end.

Answer 4

Like a rotten pumpkin! Avoid eating yellow squash. Yuck!!
