Squash 'Gete-okosomin'

Accounts say this was an extinct squash variety that was recently rediscovered in an archaeological dig, through 800-year old seeds that ...Read Morewere kept in a clay vessel. However, another account claims this is false and says Gete-okosomin has been grown for thousands of years by the Miami (and it was never extinct). However, there was another squash found in a cave in Kentucky—they grew seeds believed to be thousands of years old (but they weren't as impressed by the size or flavor); hopefully they exist, still.

The fruits of Gete-okosomin are long (shaped like Candy Roaster) and orange and somewhat striped, and are said to have smooth flesh. The squash is said to have large leaves and flowers.
