K...<i>Kalyn ~ Glad you like it! I was much impressed!<br /><br />Karen ~ Great question, actually. I've had the same thing happen, though not with Delicata but with butternut! In fact, it happened the first time during my first year of blogging about vegetables so the side-by-side comparisons are documented, see <a href="http://kitchen-parade-veggieventure.blogspot.com/2005/10/day-203-roasted-butternut-squash.html" rel="nofollow">Roasted Butternut Squash</a>. <br /><br />I wonder, some times, since winter squash keeps so long, whether what we get are actually this year's crop. And there are also the vagaries of season - this year's tomatoes, for example, are nothing to crow about. I even had a disappointing batch of beets a couple of weeks ago, especially disconcerting because they were "local-organic-just-dug" (read "expensive"). <br /><br />This is a long way to answer, "I'm not sure". <br /><br />But other readers, any thoughts on Karen's question? </i>Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11944565.post-19874117224443907592011-09-27T14:03:23.612-05:002011-09-27T14:03:23.612-05:00Hi!

One of my favorite varieties is the Delicata squash, but several times in the last few years I have purchased specimens that turned out to be bitter or plain tasting when cooked. Is there any way to tell which winter squash will be properly tasty or "ripe"? I used to thing they all were, but this has happened to me several times with various varieties (although maybe not ever with butternut).
