Carnival is one of the beautiful winter squash around and is another delicata type squash which means it can be cooked just like the Sweet Dumpling and Honey Boat Delicata – and even the skin is edible. It is hard to get this one into the oven as it is just so nice to look at! It can be cooked whole as well – just punch some holes in the sides – and when done, slice it like a cake!
Words from my mother who was invited for dinner and was served this: “THIS IS THE BEST SQUASH IN THE WORLD!!” She then proceeded to eat most of it as the rest of us had to fight her off for some morsels (and we agree with her).
She wanted to know if it would still be available for Christmas dinner.
I agree with your mother! So yummy! Just roasted it with olive oil, salt and pepper – didn’t need anything more.
You weren’t kidding when you said these were the best squash ever, WOW!!! I don’t want to share these with anyone!
