I found my supper laying out by the road - YouTube (https://youtu.be/hfC_Dl34cSM)
Looked good. That went along with your "repurposing" mentality. Road "kill" to supper. 8)
I thought we were going to be talking about fresh(?) road kill and figured you had some Cajun or WV Hillbilly blood in you. :D
Several years I did a project up in Rochester NY (Kodak HQ) and while driving up kept seeing road killed deer as I drove up through Pennsylvania and thought "They must have a lot more deer up here than we do" then after a while I realized "No, its demographics. Times are just better up here and they leave their road killed deer while we take ours home in WV and eat them." :D
Picking them up is one thing - listening to the scanner and beating the Warden or Trooper to the accident scene and telling them "I am on your list to get one, remember?" That's a whole 'nother level, and it happened all the time.
When my son was in college he hit a hen turkey about 7 miles up the road on his way back to his house at the college. He broke her wing so he chased her down and wrung her neck and took her with him and cleaned her when he got home. He called my wife a few days later and told her about it and she said "You're going to get caught and get in trouble". He replied "Mom, the evidence has been disposed of."
Actually, WV caught a lot of flack from Jay Leno and others about our "Road Kill Law" but it actually makes sense. If you hit a wild animal and want to keep it you just call and report the incident and then you can take it home with you. This way it gets salvaged, the road department does not have to clean it up and other wildlife and pets and such don't get attracted to the kill site and end up being another accident victim.
I don't think it applies to squash, pumpkins, cabbages or other vegetables though. :D
I think that squash is called celebration. Acorn squash family but supposed to have a sweeter flesh.
Planted a mess of them this year every one drowned out.
It was excellent, and I can tell ya right shortly if the second half is good too, as I'm reheating it in the air fryer as I type this. That air fryer shines at reheating.
:P Always looking for real world feedback on what I'm growing or attempting to I should say
How does it compare to an acorn?
Still good. :)
We've got a pile of squash here (well as far as 2 people can eat), we cook and then freeze more than we can eat. I like squash pie to, not super sweet and good for ya. 8)
Starting out this year I never thought I'd have any because of the earwigs and beetles. But they started leaving it alone and I got a bumper crop. I picked squash up til the end of October. :D No frost here until late this year. I had one that never pollinated, not a seed inside it, the flesh was still perfect to eat. First I seen that happen. :)
I was hoping for a really gross road kill transformed into a bon repast, something Julia Child might have done.
Im not disappointed mind you, I admire your ingenuity.
I have yet to convince my wife on the air fryer, I bought one a couple of years back on line and Linda made me send it back.
Anyone I know that has a basket type air fryer seems to have been disappointed or underwhelmed.
