I just read that delicata squash is actually related to zucchini and yellow squash, not the winter squashes. Has anyone harvested delicata early and cooked it fresh?

All winter squash can be used as summer squash. Most are not as tasty as those developed for immature use. Nevr tried Delicata, know folks who use acorns, and butternuts are actually delicious as summer squash.
