Comment added: July 7th, 08 @ 8:59 pmI had to google that word. Something like zucchini? I’m all for it.
Comment added: July 7th, 08 @ 11:27 pmI hate courgette. And zucchini. I’ll have the cats, though, thanks.
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 12:15 amCongratulations! And I’m sure the pride of it being home-grown makes it all the more delicious.
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 3:13 amCongrats!
Banana bread with shredded zucchini is really good - you should try it out if you have any more. That is, of course, If a courgette is the same thing as a zucchini, which it appears to be.
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 5:06 amAlso, hurray for bizarre capitalization!
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 5:07 amYum! I’ve always wondered how courgette would taste like in lasagna
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 9:38 amI actually never tried courgette, what does it taste like?
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 10:14 amThat’s great news - and the first of very many, if my experience is anything to go by.
Is it a green one or a yellow? I find the yellow ones (from f1 Taxi) have a different, creamier taste.
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 3:28 pmThanks Frann. It’s a green version, not sure of the specific type but it was quite good. Definitely tastier than shop-bought ones. I am hoping to get another plant next year though so F1 Taxi is one I’ll look into
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 4:33 pmThis must be my American ignorance, but what in the world is a courgette?
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 5:04 pmI believe you foreigners call it a zucchini
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 5:37 pmCongrats on the first courgette. Any more on the agenda for the year? I’ve got 3 plants growing and it’s from a pack of various colours so I’m hoping for a yellow courgette as I’ve never tried that.
We go through at least one courgette a week, great for risotto, stir fry veg and going in bolognaise or for use in lasagne. Tastes great raw with carrot and cucumber sticks as cruditees (or however you spell the word!).
Just to confuse your overseas readers you should try an Aubergine next year
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 10:45 pmSorry the list of uses were in response to those who have never tried a courgette/zucchini before.
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 10:47 pmNo apology necessary - love the suggestions
I’ve only ever really boiled it or roasted it on its own.
Comment added: July 8th, 08 @ 10:48 pmI read that first as “cigarette” and I was like “FINALLY, someone else sees the light.”
Comment added: July 9th, 08 @ 3:28 amI hit enter by mistake, but what I was going to say is that people don’t normally harvest and/or grow their own tobacco, let alone entire whole cigarettes which is what tipped me off. I’m quick.
Comment added: July 9th, 08 @ 3:33 amI happen to know what an aubergine is, just not a courgette. Fancy name for a zucchini
Comment added: July 10th, 08 @ 9:03 pmThe weather has been perfect for growing squash (that’s what we call it) over here as well! I like to dig out the seeds and stuff them with fried rice, tofu, cheese and other weggies and then give them 20 minutes in the oven.
Comment added: July 11th, 08 @ 8:58 amNow you’re temping my barely-green thumb to try out growing veggies! Dangerous. Let us know how it tastes!
Comment added: July 11th, 08 @ 2:52 pm… aaaand scrolling up and reading more thoroughly shows me what you thought of the taste. So forget previous post.
