ESCAPIS Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Has anyone come across Butternut Squash in Thailand? If so, what should I ask for in Thai? Sent from an Apple gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybum Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Is that same as butternut pumpkin ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESCAPIS Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 The pumpkin is round, the butternut is pear shaped. They might be the same, I am not familiar with either, in fact. Your opinion would help a great deal though. Sent from an Apple gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybum Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Just googled it...yes it is and yes seen it a lot. Saw it in Villa the other day, but outragiously priced as with everything else in that shop, something like 4/500b a kilo I buy it where we live for around 80/90b a kilo.

ESCAPIS Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 You would happen to know the equivalent thai term for it, would you? Sent from an Apple gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybum Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 No, only pumpkin which is fukton...spelling irrelevant.....not sure what the word for that specific variety is. My kids love saying fukton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESCAPIS Posted September 26, 2013 Author Share Posted September 26, 2013 Anyway, thank you for the hope of finding it. And pat your kids for me. I couldn't help giggling when I read the fukton Sent from an Apple gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I use the pumpkin, fatong, instead of butternut squash. It is actually kent pumpkin and has a pleasant flavor but not the same as butternut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyG Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 It's usually available at Gourmet Market. However, they are somewhat smaller than the ones I'm used to in Europe (and quite a bit more expensive). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konini Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 On occasions like this, the smart phone is worth it's weight in gold. They do say a picture is worth a thousand words. The butcher's pictures of different cuts of beef and pork are especially invaluable to point at and grin wildly. I've even googled took screen-shots of Thai script when things look similar. On topic, I don't recall seeing them on local markets, only in the supermarkets so assume they aren't grown locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDBANGKOK Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 The only butternut squash I have found in Bangkok is produced by Adams Organic. I buy it at the gourmet market in Siam Paragon(current price is 135 baht/kilo and the average size is about a kilo). Adams Organic also has a retail outlet on Soi Saladaeng where they sometimes have butternut squash for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
