For sure they will be edible. May or may not be nice, can go either way.

I grew a whole load of winter squash a few years back, most of them were fine, one plant made ones that were inedibly bitter. So try a bit first before mixing it in with a load of expensive ingredients.

Texture varied a lot from sort of stringy to smooth. Generally the bigger ones get more stringy.

Those look like turban squash? In which case should be good for curries, stews, soups etc.

I'm planning to do pumpkin and chickpea curry for tea tonight.

They are maybe a bit big for it but I sometimes lop a squash in half, scoop the seeds out (save them for roasting later) drizzle it in oil, season (salt, pepper, maybe some paprika, thyme, rosemary, that kind of thing) then roast it. Then I serve it with the seed hole full of chilli and a big dollop of soft cheese or sour cream on top.
