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 and shallow
fried
in butter with a little black pepper is OK.
And gherkins are a small cucumber but I can't see why not.

They are very different undercooked and raw, as are many things.
If you haven't tried them raw, then do so. If you have, there is
no accounting for taste, and you clearly don't like them raw ....


I'll try some then, sounds revolting though. :-)
