I cooked it and thought it might taste a little like pumpkin but found it to be very bland. Can I do anything with this? I think I've seen chai breads in the past, wondering w/ enough spice and sugar if the body and texture of this thing would be suited for something like that. Any other ideas? Thanks.

I'm sure you could use it in a pumpkin bread recipe too. Good luck!

This will get rid of some of the wateriness and convert some of that starch to sugar. If you want you can add some brown sugar in there, too - I tend to err on the nonsweet side, but lots of people prefer it the other way. Sat Dec 29 17:01:41 -0800 2007 3244686 11478 Will Owen
