If you could only ever have one which would it be? I’m going for baby carrots. Disclaimer I’m not vegan or vegetarian, I just love veg

I do like the fat cheap peas you can buy in a tin, the little sweet one though.... nope they just evade being eaten like little ninjas when you try to fork them. I like my peas wanting to be eaten, not actively avoiding death by stomach

Peas are definitely my number two
Marrow fat peas in a tin
Basic frozen peas
Fresh peas in pods

No one has mentioned courgettes yet. You only need one plant and it’s like a never ending supply. They make a nice frittata

I only use courgette when the recipe demands it.
As to it’s flav I’m a bit meh

I had to actually google 'courgette'. It is a zucchini. Everyone knows zucchini. Who on earth uses 'courgette'? lol

JRMisOdious · 07/03/2019 13:48

Er, I say courgette. Call me old fashioned 😁

JRMisOdious · 07/03/2019 13:49

All of the seed packets say courgette.

BabyDarlingDollfaceHoney · 07/03/2019 14:03

Nobody in the UK says zucchini, that's the American tern isn't it?

If you could only eat food or drink beginning with one letter what letter would it be?

That's a bastard of a question!

I couldn't live without tea, but that would leave me with a diet of tangerines, tomatoes, twiglets and tortellini.

LunafortJest has just outed themselves as being forrin. Grin
I like courgettes best raw.

dreichuplands · 07/03/2019 14:18

I like courgette fried in olive oil and then squeezed with lemon juice and salt.

LunafortJest · 07/03/2019 15:42

In Australia it is zucchini, in New Zealand it is zucchini, in Canada it is zucchini, it appears it is only England that uses 'courgette'.

Our use of courgette comes from the French name for vegetable marrow ~ courge à moelle.
Zucchini comes from Italian., so widely used America.

Funny that, on a British website. Grin

LunafortJest, my comment wasn't any kind dig. There's plenty of posters on MN from all over the place. It adds to the site! But because it is a very British word your comment stood out.

JRMisOdious · 07/03/2019 20:42

Courgette flowers are lovely too, dipped in tempura batter and deep fried.

AdaColeman · 07/03/2019 21:05

Ooohh yes! Or stuffed with mozzarella and a little chopped anchovy and fried. Wine Wine

An aubergine can also be used as a humorous nose

Justagirlwholovesaboy · 08/03/2019 01:29
