Tina Squash you may have and, pray, take my portion with blessings! This is insipid garbage to my beef- and pork- tuned tastebuds. But the ability to purchase locally grown tomatoes and melons and potatoes and so forth makes life in Roanoke, Virginia, a sweeet thing, along with locally grown apples and apple butter and cider -- on occasion we can get the REAL unpasturized stuff, if you buy beneath the table. And we have lots of pork and beef grown locally, fron Black Angus steaks freshly cut to hams and bacon cured in many ways and available to your order. I am getting a-hungered thinking about this! But, pray, spare me the squash, yams, and the like. (To be honest, I can do justice to a sweet potatoe laden with butter, salt, and pepper and, perhaps, a touch of lemon freshly squeezed.) Incidentally, the Roanoke Farmers' Market has been in continuous service since 1882. We never lost it, so we never had to re-invent the wheel.
