I love this squash. Very old variety you don't see it in stores but at farmers markets or grow yor own. Delishious!
We always called them Blue Hubbards but may be a different variety.
I like the idea of smashing them off the deck to break them for roasting!

EDIT: For those who try to peel BN squash or any squash for that matter. Save some time and don't.
Just cut a small piece off the largrer end so it is flat. Stand it up and use a good heavy butcher knife to cut through the length of the squash.
Scoop out the seed ball. place the squash cut side down on oiled baking pan and bake at 350 or 400 degrees untill a fork goes through it. The meat of the squash will just scrape right out of the skin after it cools enough to handle and you don't even have to mash it.
Love squash and treat it right . Don't boil it!
peace
