It's a squash. Not sure which variety though. I would treat it like a pumpkin or butternut squash.

Thanks for the info but I dont know how to treat it, could I roast then put in a soup or just chop up and add it raw?

I'd roast it, which should bring out the flavour more. Depending on its age, you may or may not need to peel it. I can't judge from the photo and in any event, I am the World's dodgiest cook :)

Sorry!! I love pumpkin and butternut squash roasted as they're normally quite sweet but I've never had this kind before. Have you googled it?

Roasted all of it used 3/4 for chilli & squash soup which was lovely, but was an absolute nightmare to peel.
Very pretty veg shame to cut it up.

Where did it come from? Was it alone? What are its intentions?

I'm highly suspicious..:D

I got it from lidl and the soup was lovely, bit of a kick but you cant beat a little spice in your life.

As I say, if you cant have the sugar nothing stopping you having the spice
