well - agree - how can you eat such a beauty...?
but it's a veg after all, lol. So maybe when you'll be making yourself a sandwich - put few of those blue petals on top of your lettuce.. lol

anyone know if I can still eat it? or is it definately too late now?

I think it is too late....advice is to remove a few of the head for cooking and allow the remainder to go to flowers. I grew mine for the flowers so wasn't too fussed about harvesting any.
Have all the heads gone to flower?
