After doing a search it seems that we haven't had a marrow thread on here for a couple of years! Ice gave me a marrow last year and I used it to make the marrow jam recipe in Val's book, so I decided to grow some this year.
Any ideas of other things to use them for? Any tried and tested recipes gratefully received!

Stuff it. :closedeyes:
Peel, halve lengthways, remove seeds so you end up with two canoe shapes. Stuff it with whatever you fancy. As a child we had paxo inside, tied it together and baked it in the oven with water in the tin to steam it.
It's a fairly tasteless veg so anything strong tasting will do. It's also lovely if you have any leftovers, sliced into rings and fried.

Loads of suggestions here!

Brilliant, thank you. :D
Think I might try and add it to a vegetable curry and see how it goes in there.

I love marrows, they may be a little bland and watery but they don't require a lot of effort to eat, they don't give me indigestion, all they ask is a bit of manure and a fair dose of water and they produce offspring like mad.
