Yellow crookneck squash(Cucurbita pepo) is a type of yellow-coloured vegetable marrow, also known as Pattypan Squash. It has mildly sweet and watery flesh, and thin tender skins that for many recipes don't need to be peeled off. It is thought to have been cultivated in South America more than 2,000 years ago.

Squash is a gourd, (a fleshy vegetable protected by a rind,) and some grow on a vine and others on a bush.
Squash is normally divided into winter and summer varieties, but since both types are now available almost year round, it makes more sense to divide them into soft and hard-shelled varieties.
Squash should also be firm and plump without any soft spots or pitting, and fairly heavy for its size or it may be dry and cottony inside.
I planted one yellowcrooknecksquash plant this year, and as a result I have many, many of these vegetables.
Slice zucchini and crooknecksquash lengthwise, brush with olive oil, and roast with sliced onions and red sweet peppers.
Squash is hard to store and does not lend itself well to freezing, commercial processors flash freeze squash, but it is always a bit slimy when thawed.
