Our marrows were so huge that she probably didn't have a baking dish big enough to hold them if cut lengthways!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-4747232047301303272013-11-24T08:14:47.323+00:002013-11-24T08:14:47.323+00:00You have touched on a very interesting fact there ...You have touched on a very interesting fact there Phil.<br />I thoroughly object to seeing foreign fruit and veg in our supermarkets when we can surely grow them here.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-18092558635471776122013-11-23T23:32:09.013+00:002013-11-23T23:32:09.013+00:00Having been called away unexpectedly a number of t...Having been called away unexpectedly a number of times during the summer, I can confirm that courgettes do grow to an extraordinary size if they're neglected and the weather is kind to them. Still edible, though, with the right recipe. This recipe looks lovely for a cold day - very warming and very comforting. One thing puzzles me about the marrow - since they grow so well in this country, I'm not sure why most of the marrows that I see in supermarkets seem to come from Spain. Oh well, life is full of mysteries.Phil in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15904292856978631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-1001186859967163982013-11-23T12:38:09.700+00:002013-11-23T12:38:09.700+00:00My Mum used to be given marrows by my grandfather ...My Mum used to be given marrows by my grandfather from his allotment. I hated them as a child, but when we lived in France I got to like them. Prefer them cut in half, seeds removed, then stuffed with beef in a tomato sauce. Hadn't thought of marrow rings.Snowyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944724956205419885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-79049231870557477192013-11-22T17:57:50.773+00:002013-11-22T17:57:50.773+00:00Tim, I meant to say that they're similar to an...Tim, I meant to say that they're similar to an overgrown courgette, not that I've ever had a courgette that grew so big!<br />It didn't occur to me to use the microwave, I was in the mindset of doing it the way my mum did it, but I will remember that for next time.<br />Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3896642794207631523.post-25553385567377515742013-11-22T12:20:59.039+00:002013-11-22T12:20:59.039+00:00This sounds lovely...
