I don't think the picture of the "skinned" squash actually shows a skinned fruit -- rather, it is the ivory-coloured variety also mentioned in the article. Also honestly, why would anyone want to skind a spaghetti squash, it would be almost impossible to cook after! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.119.5.209 (talk) 09:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Correct, the picture is not skinned, but an early ivory-colored squash before it ripened to yellow. -- RM 13:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps it originally read "ivory-skinned" or "white skinned". Drsruli (talk) 22:52, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Many sources indicate a probable Asian origin for development of this group of squashes. Drsruli (talk) 22:56, 4 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

What are those sources? IAmNitpicking (talk) 12:42, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Google - websearch "Where was Spaghetti Squash developed?" invariably returns: "Manchuria, China".
