Narrative
This squash has white flesh, vaguely like a "hubbard" squash, except there are network like strings in the flesh that extend through the "cavity." There is a very large amount of soupy or sirupy liquid in the "cavity" and even back into the flesh. This is "sweetish" and much relished as a "soupy" drink. Very sweet.
