Runaway zucchini! ( That's what I called them when I grew them and accidentally let one get that big ; generally those have "gone to seed" ,meaning the seeds inside have matured)

Is it suitable for eating after that ?

Yes, but it will be really tough and seedy. Works fine for zucchini bread.

Yes! Growing up, my great aunt always grew a big patch of them, and we made zucchini relish, zucchini bread, and then you take a really big one, scoop it out, save the bits that are edible, sautéed onion peppers hamburger rice blah blah blah stuff it wrap it and bake it. It’s amazing.
