I used to work at a farmer's market and we always sold a ton of weird-ass gourds in the fall. Never eaten a turban squash before. What did it taste like?

Very bland imo, not sweet at all. Had the normal squash taste which I don't know how to describe...not bitter but...? Wouldn't suggest.

For some weird ass gourds that are tasty as hell I'd try Red Kuri squash and futsu squash if you come across it. I love working with organic produce, if it paid well enough I probably would've stayed working in my produce department forever

I think we used to sell futsu squash, or at least some that were very similar looking. Definitely had several with bumpy skin like that one, but I seem to remember some of them having the "gray" tone mentioned on the Wikipedia page. Had no idea they were a delicacy. Never heard of the red kuri ones before, and didn't recognize them. I'll have to give both a try; thanks for the suggestions!
