I cut the second Hopi Black squash a couple months ago and baked half of it. Cut side down on a rack, it was still watery and tasteless. Put it out for the deer. The third one got cut up for the deer too. I did cook a small piece and it was stringy somewhat like a spaghetti squash. One thing, the rind was easy to cut. Don't think I will grow it again unless I want to grow them for deer food. The snow is deep and it has been cold so the critters are eating stuff I don't want them to eat.
I have a couple of other winter squash I want to try, Knife River, Confection, Carnival, and will try Seminole again. I like it and I also really like Moregold, it has sweet orange creamy flesh.

I have another Tetsukabuto but I didn't bag the flower so won't save seeds. It is keeping okay so far.
Gary, I will send seeds from the first one after I do a germination test. I had let it cure for a couple of months before I cooked it. It liked it well enough to grow again.
I need a bigger garden area.
