Original Toronto Star caption: A guide to gourds; Here is a rundown of the various types of squash in supermarkets. Take a gander at the recipes today and let your imagination take it from there. Cheap; delicious and available. Hubbard: This is the big one; ranging in size from five to 10 pounds and varying in color outside from green to orange or light blue. The flesh is orange and stringfree. If you buy one of these used as a puree. Golden Nuggett: Tiny pumpkin-looking squash with a very hard shell. This is a good one to stuff with meat and bake. Mediterranean: Good baker with a stringy flesh; looks like a giant butternut squash. [Incomplete]
