Will you remove male flowers?


Are they the best to eat, fried in a tempura batter? Or is it the
female flowers?


Each female flower eaten is one less courgette. Stuffed courgette
flowers is a Greek recipe - I doubt whether the Greeks would stuff
female flowers - they seem pretty good at making maximum use of food.


Italians sell them in heaps on market stalls, though. So it must be
the male flowers, I suppose.
