Is unripe pumpkin edible?

So I didn't want to grow pumpkin at all, but I was given free Hokkaido seeds. They grew into one huge plant which covered all the sweet peas and is racing past melon plants. I'm not cutting it because I have no patience for pumpkins at all, so I decided to let it do (almost) whatever it wants.
Meanwhile, I couldn't grow *any* zuccini! I used to have abundance of them, just like all the gardeners, but this year I wasted two packs of seeds and only now I finally have one zuccini plant. Which has its first tiny zuccini fruit.
I know unripe zuccinis are edible and delicious, but I'd rather let this one grow some more.
Meanwhile, the pumpkin has produced one fruit which is almost ripe and a few others.
So I'm probably going to have quite a few Hokkaido pumpkins and I don't really want to wait till autumn harvest, to eat mostly pumkin then...
I looked the question up online and got two types of answers. One: "yes, it's edible and delicious!". The other: "no, unripe pumpkin is tasteless don't eat it".

What do you think?

I got self seeded Hokkaido that took 5x5m space and produced several fruits. They are still green though. Yours is orange and I would eat it if mine was this color. I don't have high expectations for them to get ripe, because they will rather get dried first in the green state by my hot winds in 40 C weather.

I've eaten unripe buttLernut squash.
It was not sweet at all, I pan fried it , it was good.
I would recommend it.

if you are going to pick them at ‘zucchini’ stage, where the skin is still soft and the seeds are small and soft, then all squash are edible. they’re also edible as they get closer to ripe but there’s definitely a zone in the middle where they’re less exciting. there is a fair amount of variation between varieties as far as taste at zucchini stage, so i’d just recommend trying some and seeing if you like it.

I think if it's orange it's probably okay. I cooked and ate green pumpkin once and it was bland and sort of astringent. I think, as others mentioned, timing it right is important.

unripe pumpkins can be quite similar to spaghetti squash, depending on the cultivar. I don't know this variety well enough to be sure, but if you split it and roast it, it might be close in texture. If it works to where you can pull the strands with a fork and make them noodle-like that would be a great use for them

I have a maxima mutt I grow (it's not developed to the point I'd call it a landrace yet) and the immature squash are much more flavourful and squashy tasting than zucchini. Much firmer, too. My mutt does have some Hokkaido squash in it (what I call red kuri), but it's mostly kabocha, buttercup, and galeux d'eysines.

As noted above, unfinished or oddball squash/pumpkins are perfectly edible. They just may be simple veggie matter without a lot of flavour. But there's nothing wrong with chopping them up and adding to stews and soups, or grating them for use in muffins and cakes.
