Monster marrow!
« on: September 12, 2008, 12:45:02 PM »
Well, ok, by UK giant-veg standards it probably isn't a monster, but it barely fits in my veg drawer! What on earth do I do with this sucker?

You can cut it in half - hollow out part of the middle and stuff it with tuna and cheese and bake it  :P

Or some people like to stuff a type of mince concoction in them and bake.

I think you could do anything with a marrow that you could do with a courgette.  :)

I had to look it up...had no idea what you were posting about! I was thinking Bone Marrow...lol

A term used by the English, meaning tender vegetable, also known in the US as squash. Large elongated squash with creamy to deep green skins Marrow squash also known as vegetable marrow. Green in color and oval shaped. It can grow to the size of a watermelon. It is related to the zucchini. They have a very bland flavor and can be stuffed with meat stuffing. Best when eaten young and not over boiled. Vegetable marrow has a sweet and nutty flavor.

I also saw something on google ...lol yours might seem inferior to this one!
