Sounds entirely edible to me. I'm skeptical of combining butternut squash with those flavors, but I'd have to taste it to really have an opinion; you haven't said a thing about seasoning, and I may be imagining a very different dish than you cooked. And I'm pretty much not a vinegar guy in cooking.
The grading system is interesting and no doubt useful, but of course doesn't cover all issues; possibly Rob found it "not that good" (for 4 out of 10) *but* nothing about it really bothered him. And he was hungry :-).
I don't always rate *my* experiments 10 out of 10, so I wouldn't consider it a foregone conclusion that you would; though perhaps you're *that much* better a cook than I am, you certainly do it more. Heck, sometimes what I'm *aiming* for isn't a 10 out of 10.
