    At home I cut a cross in them and they peel open as they roast. Never really had them at a market.

    That sounds delicious but I honestly can't imagine where they'd fit in on a Christmas dinner.

    I tend to score them around the middle, as they cook, the shells just come away.

    Or you can just buy them from the supermarket all ready prepped. A tasty addition to a chicken or butternut squash risotto.
