eating a Pink banana squash

Last Saturday amongst other things I bought a ginat pink banana squash. It's almost three feet long and ways about 30 lbs. I paid $1.00 for it. I have read on-line that it is edible. Has anyone out there ever eaten this type of squash and if so was it any good? I also got a giant hubbard squash but I've had those before.

    PINK BANANA SQUASH
    This squash comes in three varieties:
    blue, orange, and pink. Among the three
    varieties, the pink banana is the most
    common in the United States. It is grown
    commercially in Florida. This large,
    thick-skinned cylindrical squash averages
    20 inches long and weighs around 12 pounds.
    It is so large that it is usually sold in
    chunks instead of whole. Its creamy textured
    orange flesh offers a fruity and buttery
    delight to your palate. Although both baking
    and steaming are great ways to prepare this
    tasty squash, steaming produces a slightly
    sweeter, yet mild flavor.

    I have eaten it. It is one of the sweetest squashes I have ever eaten! Makes great pumpkin pie, too. The flesh is smooth and not 'grainy" like pumpkins and certain other squashes.

    I look forward to eating my banana squash. I'm going to the same farm Sunday to pick up the 500 lb. Atlantic Giant I bought for Halloween. If he has any more I may buy some.
