Carnival Squash

It looked so cool, I bought it.

So, now what? Anybody know how to cook one?

Eh, my standard procedure for any winter squash is just to cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, cover with foil and then bake until tender. Once it's cool I scoop out the meat and add stuff to it, usually tomato sauce and Parmesan. If I want sweet stuff, I add some brown sugar and pepper. I've never tried a carnival squash specifically, but I love the name

Here's a one that can be a side dish - www.sugarlaws.com/braised-carnival-squash

If you want it like a curry, you can add some coconut milk after cooking with spices and serve over brown rice.

I'm just kind of laughing because I saw danish/acorn/some kind of squash on sale for 50 cents each, grabbed two and figured I'd find a recipe when I got home.
