Granny Creech’s Cushaw Pie

Now I know some of y’all know what a cushaw is, but for those of you who are shakin’ your heads, I’m gonna give you a Cushaw 101 class. A cushaw is a green-and-white striped, crookneck squash—that’s right, the one y’all think is only for decoratin’ your fodder shock with. Sign up for Fodder Shock 101. Granny Creech always grew a lot of cushaws and punkin’s, for makin’ fall-time pies. I guess you could say that a cushaw pie is a twist on its cousin, the punkin’ pie.
