Why does that make me think of "Charlottes Web" Or A"ACricket in Times Square"? confused

Courgettes was my first thought, too. I didn't think I liked them until I started to grow them, but it's amazing what you start to eat - and enjoy - when it's come from your own garden or allotment.

Last weekend I fried some slices of courgette then used them as layers between other layers of a bolognaise-style mixture, and others of potato, the whole lot then topped off with a cheese sauce (a bit like a moussaka). Mmmm ...

Yellow courgettes, some are spherical, others are longer.

Just back from a short break in Wales in a holiday cottage. The "welcome pack" was a small harvest festival handful of scuzzy organic looking garden produce, amongs which are three things which resemble short plump cucumbers, but are bright yellow. I suppose they are "guords", which I thought were used only as decoration around your fireside log box. confused

Do you cook the things? Are they worth doing it, if yes?

Thank you.
