It seems like a lot of people don't actually like the flavor of summer squash and therefore rate more highly the varieties that are sweet and relatively flavorless. That's not what I'm looking for, as I do actively enjoy the taste of summer squash and like more robust flavored ones. Sweet is good, but a good nuttiness and "squashiness" for lack of a better word is better than a lighter flavor to me.

Clean = no chalkiness/bitterness when eaten raw.
But Butternut Rugosa does have a robust, and deep flavor. Just without the annoying chalkiness.
