Delicata squash. Have you seen these beauties at your local farmers market or food co-op? In my younger years, I remember trying acorn squash smothered in brown sugar and butter and not liking it. That distaste stayed with me into my adulthood; I assumed squash was squash and that it all tasted the same.
