Here's a recipe for marrow wine:

Here in the US, we just buy a gun, go around to the neighbors and tell
them they take the squash (we call them zucchini here) or they die.
They usually choose the squash. Eventually somebody gets them but won't
buy a gun, and just goes in their back yard, digs a hole and buries them.

Sometimes we make cars out of them:

You didn't say how big yours were, but they are best at about six
inches. Once they get to a foot, we put ours in the compost.
