Yes...It is an excellent eating squash...comparable to a butternut in flavor..not as good as a butter cup.. But still an excellent squash to eat. The issue with big squash is who can eat or use 12lbs of squash..We use to bake it off and freeze it

Although I haven't eaten it I hear that it is quite good. I had someone ask me where they could get some seed for it because they also heard it was kind of rare and in demand around here. You can always cook the squash and freeze it or make squash soups or breads. Kind of risky to can it. If it taste anything close to Buttercop I could eat 12 lbs. of it. Soup kitchens are always grateful to get it.
