I've got three that were not pollinated. They're growing longer. I guess they'll still be OK to eat (can't think of any reason why not, but it seems wrong somehow!).
Here's a question: do you peel them?
I presume yes if stored for squash but what about if using for courgettes? The skin seems quite hard, much harder than a courgette.

I have been peeling mine and removing the core - used a third of one in a tray of roasted veg - very nice - was talking to someone today and he told me that a person was selling them today at a market - said an Indian bought 6 - apparently they roast them round the meat!

I definitely don't peel mine - it softens nicely when it cooks. I prefer my veg to have a bit of bite anyway. Mine aren't suffering the rot either, in fact, I have quite a few flowers at the moment, and the trombas on there are really rather large!

it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

So what I thought was a volunteer tromba insidethe greenhouse turned out to be a rampant Jack o Lantern. I did a panic sow and one of the squash plants I transferred up to the allotment finally got a grip and started being rampant. Now producing fruit. But yours all look like whoppers compared to mine.
I have a girth problem... and perhaps even, I’m not happy with the length

The trombas are quite courgette-like. Are they summer squash or could they be left on to mature even more for storing over winter?

You can eat them green like courgettes or leave them to ripen for winter storage, they aren't as sweet as some of the other winter squash though.
I like the look of some of the recipes for Tromba here

We had to use the blue pen to record the 6.30am temperature today

Trombas still seem to be OK, but I'm starting to worry.
My spaghetti squash survived a few slightly below zero mornings last September and October so I'll probably take the risk.
