The ones in the bowl were pre-festival, have been added to the frozen pile and will be served up for breakfast with French Toast. If I stop writing you'll know why..! <br /><br />I think I'm going to have to start being ruthless and revolve my social life around the garden next summer!

Here we call it "zuchini" which sounds Italian. I have noticed Italians also say "courgette" & not "zuchini."
