An overgrown courgette is still a courgette, just bigger. The difference between a bit courgette and a marrow is a courgette's flesh is much more solid than that of a marrow, marrows being quite watery.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13695947.post-75632685367688093382007-08-31T17:52:00.000+03:002007-08-31T17:52:00.000+03:00Maryam - thank you for linking!

I think I need to come to Marrakesh for them:)<BR/><BR/>Lydia - I'm so pleased to realise how easy it's been to grow this vegetable. Next year, when I upgrade from a container garden to a proper garden, I'll be planting several zucchini and squash and marrow plants!<BR/><BR/>Valentina - a good recipe indeed!<BR/><BR/>Katie - I did a little online research, and it seemed that Brits consider marrow to be an overgrown zucchini/courgette, and Americans a different 'species'. Confusing, for sure!<BR/><BR/>Garrett - you're very welcome! I've got two large marrows from my mum again as well:)<BR/><BR/>Kalyn - I guess we can agree that it's a "mother's thing" :) I'm not 100% sure, but it seems indeed that a marrow is an overgrown courgette/zucchini.<BR/><BR/>Molly - thank you! I loved the yellowness of it all, too:)<BR/><BR/>Lobstersquad - that's hilarious! I would have thought that Italian, French and Spanish greengrocers know their courgettes!?!<BR/><BR/>Tanna - I know, I know, the old 'size matters' school of thought. Yes, it's a great recipe to have!<BR/><BR/>Jeanne - you're welcome! 'Baby marrow' sounds neat, don't you think!?<BR/><BR/>Margot - I'm glad you've found your way to Nami-nami and that you like the recipes. Hope to see you again soon! <BR/><BR/>Maris - oh, neid emasid küll!

No amount of proof would convince them otherwise - including that offered by other Brit's....<BR/>Things we learn in childhood are sacred...<BR/>I like mine young and slender, too, but occasionally they hide under a leaf for a day and Voila! Marrow!
