You can make a good pumpkin pie from winter squash. (Most canned pumpkin
from the store isn't really from pumpkins anyway.)
When I was a teenager, my mother made some pumpkin pies from over mature
yellow zucchini. I think I made some too one time. The pies were a
little less solid compared to real pumpkin but they had a nice fruity
quality to them that I liked. That reminds me... I think I have 2 big
yellow zucchinis out in the garage, if they didn't freeze.

I have also been known to use big yellow zucchinis for tall
jack-o-lanterns. They never fail to get comments from people.
