If found ever cooked spaghetti squash you know that you can scrape the inside of the baked squash and it comes off in little strings like pasta. it can be made sweet too, with cinnamon and sugar. i figured it would be similar to make raw, i think i saw it in a raw recipe. but it was more difficult to serve raw. without softening the squash by cooking it, it refused to do the cool spaghetti thing. So i changed to plan B and treated like a zucchini and just took the box grater to it. it did take some arm power and a half a squash was probably enough for two people.( the squash resembles a yellow rubgy ball) i saved a little to eat the next day.
i ate it with a cooked sauce, but i did make the sauce from scratch, which i had never done before.
This meal would have been hard for me raw wise... I like pasta and I love cooked squash. Still, I would be hard pressed to say anything you've made has been unappealing to me at least visually. This would be an interesting experiment to try.
