We grew those when I was a kid. As I recall, my folks didn't much care for them (I've hated winter squash for as long as I can remember).

And here I thought Art was cruising for his first moderator intervention with a title like that.
You're walking fine line Art.

I've never heard of them. How do they taste relative to acorn and butternut squash? I've planted delicate squash for a few years and they are similar in flavor and texture to acorn and butternut. I've heard some winter squash varieties have a similar taste and can stay in storage for many months. For some reason I was thinking they were called blue squash or something similar, but I can't remember.

We tried one that was not quite ripe. I need to try one more before giving an opinion. Is blue squash a type of Hubbard?

I believe the blue squash was a type of Hubbard. Around 10 pounds per squash if my memory is correct. I've read that they are a really hard winter squash, but they're supposed to get a number of edible pounds of food from each squash. I believe some of those types of squash were supposed to taste best after they've cured in a cool place for a month+.
