I prefer them raw to cucumber as the don't repeat.

what is all the fuss, about courgettes

They're reliably easy to grow, and you can do a lot with them, sweet and savoury and they're also useful padding to make summer food go further

I agree with you there they are relatively easy to grow and look ok. Maybe I am not trying the right recipes 

Will give them a second chance and give the soup a go. Is there a recipe for that here somewhere?

[Madame Cholet]
