I saw them again at a farm market today, and they were, indeed, labeled 8 ball, not stuffing, zucchini. I picked up a couple. Perhaps they are the vegetable du jour, I never saw them before now they are everywhere.

I first saw these last week, small round zucchini labeled stuffing zucchini. Yesterday in a different market, I saw them again. I've never seen them before but they look useful. I guess you hollow them out and bake them like a stuffed tomato. Maybe cook them on the grill.

Anyone make these and have a recipe idea they like?

Are they zucchini green or more like a pattypan squash?
Pattypan can be green, yellow, white, varigated, etc. I much prefer pattypan to those round ones, pattypan are much easier to grill.

I grew them for 3 or 4 years. I gave up this year. Too many squash and too many varieties. I am down to green and yellow zucchinis this year and I still have too many. -- Susan N.

I like squash well enough, but not to have it all the time. It's not something I'd be likely to grow, but then, I don't really have a garden so the point is moot.
I also bought some lima beans in the pod. Can someone tell me how you go about cooking them? Shell them, then steam them?

Okay, I just shelled one and ate a couple lima beans raw. They're very tasty. I have never had fresh limas, never even saw them. Usually I get them frozen.

They are similar. I have had fava beans brined, and they are more yellow.
Someone will have a better answer for you than I do.

We are used to eat raw favas in May (especially the 1st of May- the "work feast"- when many people go to picnic). We are used to eat them with "Pecorino" (the one that you call Romano). They are very good raw or cooked like peas with a little meat broth and bacon.
