Squash, melon, or otherwise, I am also curious how to cook these veggies. They arrived in our CSA drop over the past few weeks. Our friends John and Lauren also received such a vegetable, and claim it is filled with a white flesh much like zucchini. But I have researched round zucchinis, and find these to be more oblong than they are supposed to be. Perhaps they are something else? And if indeed they are a round zucchini, then what is the best way to prepare them. I am at a loss.
Part of me does indeed hope they are a round zucchini, as my feminist side is excited to have a squash vegetable that more appropriately represents a female than a male. After all, the traditional summer zucchini, for better or worse, is rather phallic. I think it is rather nice to have a bosom-inspired squash for once. Then again, if I keep these jokes up folks may just lose their appetite. Or gain it. Who knows?

I stumbled upon a photo of this squash on the Pearl Farmer's Market facebook page, and it was labeled as a Tatume squash. Mystery solved!
