O Dock, I've baked squash and pumpkins before, and the bottom of them do caramelize like the darker sections of said Jellyfish.<br />When the skin cooks, it peels away very easily and what you have is the bright colored flesh of the squash or pumpkin, such as we allegedly see in the pictures. If you are in fact right, them I am a dunce. I even looked up ruddy jellyfish (probably not the only one that did) and it really doesn't resemble what you've got.
