Sorry, I should have put that.  I cut mine into smallish cubes, so that when its made up it resembles a
chunkier version of sandwich spread, but don't over cook or it will go mushy.  Good Luck, let me know!  Mrs Bouquet

Actually we don't like courgettes very much either.  Did you grow the ridge ones ?  We grew ridge and femspot together in the greenhouse.  We had about 7 off the ridge, which were lovely and tasty, with a nice crunchy texture, and so far 3 on the femspot, which were about 16" long and looked like shop ones, but which weren't as tasty.  However, there are still about 4 to come.  They seem to have developed a second life, which is more than I can say for me !!!  (now I've read my post, I mean cucs).  See you,  Mrs Bouquet  :roll:  :roll:
