We were fortunate enough to find these squash in the market. We had not heard of them before. The name is evocative, it ignites the imagination.

It turns out that our Black Forest squash are a smaller variety of Kabocha squash, one we are quite familiar with from out days at Clio. So soup is a definite possibility, or risotto, John Thorne's squash tian, black forest waffles, squash steamed pudding with black treacle sauce or black forest lasagna. The possiblities are endless,
