Still Steve, without knowing more of which type it's really hard to answer.
Some asian types are eaten raw like a melon would be. Very sweet and a bit
like a firm honeydew. These may actually be dressed with a sweet cream
sauce. If I recall right that was a cantalope sized purple and red exterior
with a white interior flesh. Locally called 'melon squash' in 'engrish'.

Here's another one. All winter squash seeds are edible. Next time, save
them and rinse the flesh off, pat dry and lightly toss with a little oil and
salt. Bake until dry (or can use a dehydrator).
