    I have searched for this, all my local grocers and supermarkets don't have it Live in Hartlepool,UK - local grocers say that the markets they attend don't get it any more, even when it's in season. Do you have any ethnic produce shops near you, I don't but others have suggested that route. Good luck and post if you find one!

    I was wondering if it was called something different across the pond. I remember being at a restaurant while on vacation one year wondering what on earth was rocket. We call it arugula.:huh:

    I may have misunderstood but I thought spaghetti squash was a "squash" as in the vegetable, the kind of marrow looking thing (just smaller with a larger bulbous end one end) that you bake in the oven (after slicing in half first!) then you use a fork to get the squash out which goes kinda stringy (like a pumpkin does) when you scrape it out?!!!

    I like in the UK too and id be helpful for any English friend requests?!!
    Struggling to know what half the food is on food diaries due to it being American and not selling in this country lol!!!

    It's a squash in the same sense that pumpkins are squash. Here's a pic:
