My father use to fry white squash ALL the time for breakfast when I was a little girl and serve it with white bread. The dish is absouletly tasty. I've since moved to Northern Virginia and truly miss preparing the dish because the local grocers don't supply the vegetation. Last year I was thrilled to see packages of white squash seeds for sale at Lowes, so I purchased several packages quickly. My husband has a coworker who farms and he was kind enough to plant several of the packages for me. Tonight was the first time I prepared the dish in over three years. Incredibly delicious! It's a comfort food that reminds me of the place I call home, Louisiana! I prepare my dish in a simple way and that's just by frying thinly sliced pieces in cornmeal adding salt and pepper to taste. It was nice to see the gardening tips listed on your website because my husband's coworker was concerned about the care of the vegetiation (he's never seen or heard of white squash). I will definitely try your receipe because it sounds delicious and I will also pass on your tips to my husband's coworker. Thank you Kenyana All Most a Chef,

If your blossoms are undersized I can see how it may be harder to do, maybe a small pair of shears, just using the tips. And obviously, if you are cutting the blossoms for a salad or frying without filling, a small tear shouldn't affect the finished product. Thanks for reading!

Do you have any tips for getting the sepals and stamins out? I always manage to rip the petals in the process... I can’t resist squash blossoms.
