On inspection today I noticed one of my butternut squashes had gone all shrivelly and yellow at the top. So I hoiked it off the vine lest it infected anything else. I was not a happy bunny.
What I would like to know is, if I cut the shrivelly bit off, will the rest of it still be OK to eat? It's looking pretty sound other than that. It's still resolutely green mind, but I read that you can eat unripened butternuts, they just don't taste so butternutty. But I thought in a soup it might be ok.
What do you reckon? I'm loathe to throw it out, especially if any of the others decide to follow suit... I haven't got many and I am blooming well determined to have a butternut squash make it till picking time...
