It's not all awesome though, had some from N.Y. at a farmstand it was beautiful. Had similar looking from the grocery store and gagged on it.
The skin is kind of weird and crunchy when roasted, but that flavor....

I'm growing delicata again this year, too. Last year, my one plant bore 17 or 18 squash (I think 5-7 is normal). I probably shouldn't have fed it Mater Magic. It took over part of the lawn, strangled a few eggplants, and pulled down a 4' pepper plant. That plant was a giant pain in the rear, but it was kinda worth it. This year's seems better-behaved, but it's still early... Good luck with it!
