My mom brought this over the other day and I was just about to make zucchini bread with it, but it looks a bit more yellow than I remember zucchini being… Is this a zucchini or another kind of squash? It doesn't have a bitter taste.
woah!!! that’s amazing!!! did she grow that herself?

Once they get that big it’s more like a winter squash than what zucchini is normally like.

We saves seed one year from pumpkins (that apparently got cross pollinated by zucchini) and had fruit like this. We called it zumpkin. Used it like zucchini no problem. No discernable difference in taste.

Winter types of squash have hard shell skins that make them great for winter storage, summer types have thin skins you can easily put a fingernail through. Plus, the flesh of a summer type squash this size would be a bit spongy, but a wintery type would be much denser, like pumpkin or butternut.
Is the skin thin? Is the flesh spongy? Then I’d use like a zucchini. Cooking it is going to turn it to mush, so bread would be a great idea.

In the UK we call them Marrows. One of my fav childhood winter meals was stuffed marrow. It had mince and a few other veggies in and was served with gravy. Warming and tasty.
And yes, they taste exactly like courgette/zucchini and can be used the same. They may be a bit softer but otherwise there’s no difference

It’s another kind of squash. I could say definetely if I can look at the leaves and how it has grown.

Is there any cantaloupe growing nearby?
