Cutecumber -
I read your message just as we were about to tuck into our first harvested ButterCUP squash! I find it quite hard eating one of our "own", especially when you've tended them for so long and when they look so good on the windowsill. This variety was recommended by someone on this site to me last year so I grew it this year and the flavour is very good - possibly close to what you are looking for. Sweet, dense flesh - not at all pithy and watery. I got the seeds from the Organic Gardening catalogue - and they have quite a few unusual varieties on their list. The trouble with squashes is .... once you've grown one, you want to grow them all. As well as Buttercup, I would recommend Sweet Dumpling for flavour.
Good luck.
