It’s been a long time since I’ve had a truly terrible squash, or at least it had been until I tried Blue Doll last night. It looked like a potential winner, with its Buttercup-like blocky shape and little undeveloped Turban-butt. I was hoping for a dry, dense, sweet flesh when I put it in the oven last night. Removing it from the oven, the signs were already not good: pools of water formed in the seed cavities. The pale yellow flesh browned nicely, but it was about as dry, sweet, and dense as you would expect an overgrown zucchini to be after an hour in the oven. Hard pass.
This wasn’t a squash war, it was not even a battle.
