Bottle gourd
I have a huge bottle gourd in my fridge (no actually just half of it) which is going soft.
It's not rotting but just past it's prime. Can I use it for something example in the stock pot or mash it with rice or anything actually. I don't want to throw it

I wonder why no one has replied
I hope it's called bottle gourd only. I am talking about that light green cylindrical vegetable that belongs to the squash family. It's white inside.
