It's a delicious salad, and in SoCal you're likely to have the heat-loving ingredients still available to you (tomatoes, lime, peanut, can't remember what else goes in there).-Kate I wonder whether they might substitute for green papaya as the basis for the Thai salad som tum?

Why not try throwing one in the solar oven and see what it tastes like?The gardeners might experiment, but so can the cooks!!

I've never done it personally, but I hear it mentioned often enough I figure it must be a feasible way to make relatively inedible gourds/squash fairly edible.
