What does yellow squash taste like?

I've heard people describe it as "meaty", but I definitely never got that impression. But then, I made my mind up not to like it when I was a kid, and you know how that turns out a few years down the road....I still need to try it with a fresh mind.

But if you still have little kid tastes you'll find it to be squishy, squashy (duh), a little stringy, too yellow, and just really gourd-y.

But I've heard proponents of eating squash describe it as meaty as in savory and maybe also in texture, as I said, and surely buttery as it must be so aptly named, but I'm not the most reputable source since I haven't dared eat it for several years.

Really though if you want to know you should just cook some up and try it. Because describing a sensation and especially your own perception is difficult at best, even for a poet, and always misleading to someone or another.

On second thought, have someone else cook it for you. Someone who's done it before...because if you f|_|ck (sorry, had to do that because this c|_|nt of a website is afraid of something as silly as Words) it up and end up hating it, it might not be the squash's fault at all!
