Squash varieties are always in the list. However, I have to say your list of Winter Squash is very impressive: have not seen many of them for sale in our area, perhaps not looking for them and overlooked. Your post has motivated us to make a list of some of these varieties, look for them and taste them. Quite sure many will become favorites. Thank you for sharing.

I eat it like 5 times a week. As for the concept of vegetable versus fruit. You're absolutely correct in that it contains its seeds and ergo a fruit, in a botanical sense. While in a culinary sense it is considered a vegetable beacause of its cooking purposes in savory dishes while fruit are categorized as sweet in culinary terms. Did you know the US Supreme Court ruled on whether tomato was a vegetable or fruit? Legally its a vegetable in culinary terms! It's all syntax in my honest opinion, delicious syntax.

That said, I would just count it towards one of your portions of vegetables. Hi Troy,
