What kind of squash is this???

[mcorder]

Howdy,

Could someone please tell me what type of squash this is? I've seen it before, but don't know the name and couldn't find it with a quick search of the web. These were given to me, and grown here in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Thanks in advance for any info you good folks could provide...

... hope this works.

P.S.

Now I'm seeing the "Hosted by Tripod" graphic again. I'm away from my main computer right now, but I'll move it to a different server when I get home. In the meantime, you might try cutting & pasting the address above...

I've been spending the afternoon cooking and watching x-files.......they look like flying saucers. I recall seeing these squash in Australia, they taste a bit like zucchini, but I don't have a name for them.

Those are the white bush scallop (patty pan) type. They are from the zucchini family.

Those are definitely "Patty-pan "squash. Cook like any other summer squash.
