Anyone grown Bonbon squash?

I really wasn't too impressed with the ones I grew a few years back, and they most certainly didn't store very well compared to other squash.  Having said that, I only grew them the one time so perhaps not the best way to rate them.

Shame about the Crown Prince as I haven't had problems growing that before and normally they are big plants that do exceptionally well.  I think this year was a little on the cool and wet side for some squashes so the weather could be the reason?  Some of my winter squashes have not done anywhere near as well as last year - I grew 3 Celebration plants (a lot like Harlequin) and each plant had as many as 5 good size fruits whereas this year I only grew 1 plant (along with several other varieties in the same bed) and the one and only fruit is about the size of a peach.  I definitely think much of my problems has been down to the wet summer and possibly loss of nutrients in the soil.  

Who's independent taste tests might these be and how many people took part in the test?

Independent taste tests have BonBon at the top for taste and texture. Sweet, flavoursome and lovely texture. I would agree that it needs to be eaten early before Christmas.

Are you quoting from the growyourown.info website, or did you find this at another source? I'm asking because I saw the same comment there too but haven't found anything else to back it up, which is why I was asking if anyone had personal experience of growing them.

"Gardening which" did the independent taste tests, and having grown quite a few different (12)Winter squashes this year, I still think that BonBon is the best tasting but as I said, it is not the best one for storage which is why I eat it early. Crown Prince has almost as good a taste and should store till May next year.
People should try them and make their own mind up, but BonBon would always be on my "must grow" list.
