Default Decorative purposes only

Today we took a sight seeing ride up north jersey, not that the
leaves are changing or anything. Bad summer. Among other
things, we stopped at this farmers market to get some apples
and whatever else caught my eye.

Aha, a nice gooseneck gourd, they amuse me and they make
a cute fall decoration. The cashier admired the gourd and we made
a couple of comments about them, then she told me that last
week, a Chinese couple came in. They'd bought one of those
gourds and it tasted horrible, they wanted their money back!

That just struck me as funny. You're not supposed to eat them!
Go find a squash! I didn't find out if they returned their money.

Even if it was edible, I thought $5 was a lot to pay if I did think it
was some squash. They are very light.
