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?

When you try them fried again, add a bit of ground cumin. I was served them
this way once and they were delish!
