I posted a thread about eating squash leaves on the food forum that I'm a member of - we had an interesting reply from a member who has lived in South Africa and says that it's a staple part of the diet there http://www.wildfood.info/viewtopic.php?f=51&t=13413&p=366339#p366339
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I like the look of that dish with the boerwors sausage, cornmeal pap and pumpkin leaves with tomato sauce - that's another reason for growing squashes again next year

You can grow some varieties outside but they're very weather dependant - not tried growing them in containers - they need rich soil, lots of water and sunshine

I've grown them in 73 litre mixing tubs from wickes with holes drilled in the bottom and filled with 50/50 farmyard manure and compost, Jo. They did well but you do need to keep up with the watering - all that leaf area really sucks it up!
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

I'd not heard of eating them, but google led me to this http://poorandglutenfree.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/what-to-do-with-squash-leaves-and-stems.html which is interesting.
