Might be. Hubbard (Summer) squash, to be exact. Use to see it around
the cannery I worked at as a kid. Mostly packaged for frozen sale,
though.

I made a scratch pumpkin pie, last Halloween. I used the smaller,
"sugar pumpkin", not the large "carving pumpkin". (yes Virginia, large
"carving pumpkins" are grown to be carved, not eaten)
