This absolutely gorgeous, green and gold ribbed squash became a staple food for Maori people after its introduction to New Zealand. That gives us a clue as to its fondness for an Oceanian climate and the kind of performance we can expect from it in the garden. Ideal for stuffing and roasting or just sautee-ing in the pan. Choose the latter for young, tender squash, as the seeds are part of the treat.
