I dunno how many of you chaps are vegetarians, but if you are, I wonder if you've also noticed the terrible rise of the butternut squash.
If you go for a Sunday lunch at a Wetherspoons or a Toby Carvery, to name but two, the main veggie option is now one of these revolting mushy gourds.
It's truly baffling. The ascent of the butternut squash must surely be the work of a non-vegetarian, probably in league with some farming consortium who have a warehouse with a butternut squash mountain to shift.
The last thing you want, as the centrepiece of a savoury meal, is a block of sweet, citrussy pulp.
