Can courgettes be eaten raw? The other day I had some that had been only
very lightly fried in a little bacon fat and they were still quite crisp
and tasted a little like sweet chestnuts. Prompted me to wonder if
anyone eats them raw? Can they be pickled raw in vinegar? Is that
essentially what pickled gherkins are?

Yes. Sliced lengthways, they are often used as dipping vegetables,
and are sometimes sliced thinly in salads.

Gherkins are small cucumbers, but doubtless you could pickle
courgettes, too.
