For me, it's a texture thing. The taste is very mild but even well
cooked it's crunchy. I don't like crunchy squash. Some people use it
in place of pasta. A veggie alternative. I don't want crunchy pasta,
either. So, not a fan of spaghetti squash.

I confess it's been so long since I tried it that I can't remember what
it's like. Obviously, I was not that impressed with it or I would have
eaten it a second time.

Crunchy is not a problem for me. Maybe I'll try it again; my tastes
have changed somewhat in the last 40 years.

No. Texture thing for me as well.

I've had it once, way back when I was married.
We substituted it for the pasta in a spaghetti dish.
It wasn't very good that way.

Might be good in a stir-fry though. Don't know.

Another word for not crunchy at all is el dente. I've sliced bell peppers very thinly and sauteed them in EVOO and spices and YUM!

The one time we tried it it was was a fail, the texture is disgusting,
it ended up in the composter.

I tried it once. It was edible, but not good enough to bother doing it
again.

I like it baked with some butter and salt, while
it's still soft and you can flake it into what
looks like angel hair pasta.

Popeye probably put lipstick and a wig on those pork butts and had
his way with them.

Hey Gaygory, I'm not Steve Wertz, and you
posting these lame accusations over and
over again isn't gonna make anyone with
half a brain think it's true.

It's ironic that you call me pig pork when
in reality you're known as the pig boy in
this froup.

It's also ironic that you blame me for socking
up, after you've been caught so many times
forging and frogging some of the regular posters
in here.

Now get off my leg, chubby.

Maybe crunchy isn't the right word for it. I don't want my vegetables
cooked to mush but IMHO Spaghetti Squash never even gets *close* to
tender. It's also very bland.

I like spaghetti squash served as spaghetti. My wife doesnt. €œWe€�
dont eat it,
and Ive never seen it served in the restaurants that I occasionally
infest.

[ObFood] Ham shank n pintos with sliced/cooked carrots, served with corn
bread.
Its a one of a kind thing that nobody has ever done before.
