The squash is cored, filled with a rice or bulgur and meat mixture, similar to a stuffed cabbage roll. It has a different flavor than typical squash. I have no idea what the retail Lebanese squash tastes like but this pale green squash is special.

I've tried a variety called "Cousa" that may be the same pale green one that you described. I prepared it much like the above. Taste, to me, is like a mild zucchini. The best thing about it is that because it is cored in the preparation, it can be picked a bit later without the worry of hard maturing seeds.
