   Just had spaghetti squash. It's a vegetable that produces a perfect spaghetti. Keep in mind you don't cut it into spaghetti, it CONTAINS spaghetti on the inside.
   
   I wonder if people in the 1800s were like "Oi spaghetti squash? You don't say."
   
   How much did they cultivate it? What is the history of this squash? It seems to trace back to Japan, but I've seen no further information. At what point did someone decide you could make spaghetti out of this? Why aren't journos writing about this?

     Sphagetti squash is also popular in Eastern India, a version of it is called “chalkumro” (“rice pumpkin”/“pumpkin rice” - literal translation) perhaps because of its flaky and string like pulp, that produces “sphagetti” or long “rice like” threads. Interesting, I never tried it here. Will get one next time and try to scoop out the spaghettis. How do you cook it?

     @alex Does it taste as good as the regular spaghetti that comes off trees?
