My mother always boiled them. I like to slice them & fry them with sliced onions.

My mother would boil them, then mash them with a potato masher together with cream cheese, and a little salt. Creamy squash! You could experiment with adding a little spice; cilantro goes well with squash. I should take my own advice, and try that sometime.

Just happen to have fresh cilantro in my container garden...

Creamy squash does sound good. Anything with cream cheese sounds good...

fried with onions & garlic is good, & I also like them grated, raw, on a salad.

Mostly I quarter them and steam them with a few slivers of onion and serve them with butter and sometimes a sprinkle of parmesan.

We loved these the way my mom prepared them. She would slice them about 1/2 inch thick slices, salted them to draw out excess moisture, then dipped them in flour, beaten seasoned eggs and breadcrumbs. Fry in oil, drain on paper towels.

Because of the unique shape of these squash when sliced, we called them fried lips. 👄
