I bought a packet of "mixed summer squash" and this is one of them. I can't find it in any of my catalogs, and I've never seen a white scallop squash before (and oh, the squash I've seen). Can someone identify it for me? This one is about 6" across.
I have some white scallop patty pan squash just like these growing but I can't find the packet, I just labelled them white pattypans. i will keep looking.
Yep, white patty pan squash. It comes in green and yellow too. From what I have read it is more tender if picked when it is 2-3 inches in diameter.
Thats all I know to call them. Supposed to be good eating but mine never grew. Just dwindled and croaked !!
We have the yellow ones also, called "Sunburst". I stuffed two small yellow ones with a sausage stuffing and we had them for dinner. Very firm and good-tasting meat, but a bit seedy (I'm used to Coosa which has very few seeds). I"ll try the white one and see what it tastes like. Now that I know at what size to pick (thank you, all!) I'll keep an eye on them. I have the feeling they aren't going to go over well at the food pantry since they are "different".
