Crookneck squash along with other types of squash.

While the skin appears rough from a distance, they actually have a smooth texture.

Yellow crookneck squash is a variety of summer squash (species Cucurbita pepo) with bumpy, yellow skin and sweet flesh. The taste is closer to winter squashes than to summer squashes, although it is a short-season bearer.

The squash are supposed to taste best when harvested at approximately 6 inches in length.
