2) Raw!
I'd just read online that courgettes can be eaten raw and are often used
in salads etc. I've just sat and eaten a whole one - eating it like a
long apple, skin and all. Slightly nutty flavour. Not particularly sweet
but not sour either. Apparently quite nutritious and very low in
calories. Cheaper and more healthy than my usual evening snack of a bag
of crisps. Quite filling too. Even the dogs came to investigate and
shared a few morsels of it with me!


My wife's idea of a salad is eating one or two large cucumbers picked
from the greenhouse, skins on, dipped in salt and eaten like peeled
bananas.
