You are exactly right! Some squashes are actually called gourds, such as the acorn squash and many others, but, the ornamental gourds are just that. Ornamental and not edible. They won't poison you, but the flesh is dry and bitter. I hope that answers your question.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you were able to take the time to peruse some of the other links here to check out all the markets in the world. Have a wonderful day!
