Not only does taste like pumpkin (with the spices), it is much easier to skin and cube.

.......it is much easier to skin and cube. OK, the wife says I'm nuts. She says they are the hardest; toughest skin and difficult to handle. So... My technique: - cut the "neck" off at the bulb. This is the riskiest cut. Just make sure you have a good grip on it and make a square cut.
- Stand the neck up on the cut.
- slice the skin off working all the way around, leaving a huge slab of meat I use a chef's knife, but have heard a potato peeler works.
- cut that slab into `1 inch slabs.
- Dice the slabs either individually or in manageable stacks.
- Gut it
- Stand the bulb up on the cut
- Skin it
- Depending on its intended use, you can slice it into "pineapple" slices and dice; or wedges and dice.

One more thought:
I feed the guts to the chickens, but you could certainly make a nice vegetable broth by boiling and straining it.

Slice in half, gut, place cut down on a flat sheet pan, bake, then scoop out the finished pumpkin from the skin with a large spoon. Just took a finished pie out of the oven. Can't wait for it to cool and I can dig in!

I think she is mistaking butternut squash for buttercup squash....them things have armor skin but are the sweetest of the bunch in my experience

Realistically, nothing is all that hard with the right tricks.
