Stewed Squash.
Pare, seed, quarter, and cook soft in boiling salted water. Pour this off, and add a few tablespoonfuls of strained gravy from your ducks—or any other you may have. Beat the squash to pieces in this, in the saucepan; season well and stir until as stiff and smooth as apple sauce; then dish upon crustless slices of fried bread.
