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?

Well I can't stand them undercooked let alone raw, sliced an shallow fried
in butter with a little black pepper is OK.
And gherkins are a small cucumber but I can't see why not.
