That row of squash reminded me of an occasion several years ago when I went to a discount grocery store and found a massive bin of assorted winter squash for pennies per pound. Overstocks of nutritious food could not be ignored, so I bought a lot. The kid at the counter was bewildered though. People often don't know how to cook, or how delicious just a simple baked squash can be, or how to dice it up and make a soup. And that's just one food.
