I think it's still called spaghetti squash...I went on to a UK website and that's what they were calling it....

Here's a photo:

Latin name is "Cucurbita Pepo"....but I think that name covers several different types. :yum:

If you do find it please post where, a couple of years ago someone said they had bought it at one of the large supermarkets but I havent been able to find it anywhere either!

You could also buy the seeds and grow it yourself!

I get these in Tesco - they're in season at the moment but its a bit hit and miss.

Try farmer's markets - you can def get them in the UK and they're really versatile
