Butternut Problem?

[Mauldintiger]

What is this pest? Should I eat it immediately or let it cure?

Looks like a worm has bored into your squash. Eat it now or else the worm certainly will. If you have chickens, give them the peelings and seeds!

Hi @Mauldintiger ! When I first read your message I thought you were going to be the early bird that got the worm!

(Glad @baymule got it right!)
