Aha, that's interesting. I guess C. maxima look & taste more like
C. pepo "pumpkin" than the other C. pepo varieties do?

Yes, but more so. They have harder skins, larger, rougher and harder
seeds, and are more starchy and less watery than C. pepo. In the
latter, rather like C. moschata (butternut), but are starchier and
less sweet. Queensland Blue doesn't seem to get as starchy as many
others, at least in the UK.
