Hi all,

Can anyone tell me what kind of squash this is please?

We were given 2 plants which were supposed to be butternut squashes, but
aren't showing any tendency to look like butternuts. They are however
showing a tendency to attempt taking over the entire allotment.

I accidentally broke this one off the plant, so I cut it open so you can see
the inside, although I'm assuming it's not fully finished yet. So if you
know-- what is it? What's it good for? How will I know when they're ripe?

TIA

After perusing that site I just posted, a better guess might be the
Kabocha. It says it's a "squash of the buttercup type" so someone might
have easily made the mistake and called it butternut?
