A friend of mine who keeps trying to make us less carnivorous brought some squash over. What do you do with them? My pigs really want them but I figured we would at least try them first.
Those look like zucchinis that were perhaps cross pollinated with pumpkins. I know someone who cuts them into matchstick pieces, with seeds removed, sautees (sp?) them in butter and seasons them.A friend of mine who keeps trying to make us less carnivorous brought some squash over.

You can slice them crosswise (about a quarter inch), parboil them a few minutes, then pan fry them in butter. Leave the seeds in, they'll cook too. I use fine black pepper for seasoning, but I'm conservative. That's if Weedy is right about the cross. If the cross is with jalapeno, another path might work better. Hah.
I'm with you. I have tried and tried to eat squash. I can eat it about once a year and then I am good.I don't know what they are, I've never grown squash on purpose.
That's one way to disguise the taste for a non squash eater. I do that and hunny never knows. Slap some cream cheese icing on it and he is in heaven .Grate it and dehydrate it. Add water to it and make zucchini bread when you want to. 1/3 cup dehydrated to 2/3 cup water for each loaf.
Is that one of those banana squash? Like a summer squash? I really like to coarsely chop into 1 in squares and sauteed in bacon grease onions garlic salt & pepper. Sprinkle some parmesan on top. Sometimes I just fry bacon first then add everything. Another option would be to stuff it like you would bell peppers or even stuff like you would eggplant.
