(a.k.a. Cymling, Custard Marrow, Patisson Panache) An ancient summer squash that was a traditional food crop of the northeastern tribes for centuries. In 1591, the White Scallop Squash was illustrated in the French botanist Matthias de l’Obel’s Plantarum seu Stirpium Icones. In 1648, it was called Symnel but in 1803, Thomas Jefferson wrote it as cymling. This squash was called cymling because it looked similar to a simnal cake which was a type of cake made during Lent. The squash was also known as Custard Marrow and Patisson Panache in France. Produces flat white fruit with scalloped edges that can be baked, fried or eaten raw with dips. Bush plant. (50 days)
