Nyboy no I haven't tried them. Any particular variety of whites that your friend prefers? And those are the ones with the white outer skin? I've also been looking at some others like Jumbo pink Banana (I think it was Journey that said those were really good for pie) and the delicata or kabocha a try probably next year. I've also been eyeing Jarrahdale pumpkins, Marina Di Chioggia squash. Going to be a fun year next season.
