Biggest courgette I've seen Attachment 73919

Sad to say that's average around here, from our garden. I'm not quick enough to get them at sausage-size. For some silly reason we tend to plant a zucchini (courgette, etc.) every year, and the leaves get so big that we miss a few hiding underneath. If you forget to look for a few days, you're swamped. We often get several that are roughly the size of a lower human leg. They aren't so tough, luckily. I typically split them lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and stuff the middles with sausage, cooked rice, herbs etc, then bake them in the oven for 40 minutes or so.

That is significantly larger than average, but they grow them mighty big out here. The problem with them when they get truly huge is that they aren't very good. They get woody and coarse and dry.

My wife refuses to believe that your courgette is larger than mine, and insists that you whip yours out and take a photo.

Pork, ginger and scallion wonton with shrimp in a chicken and kombu broth.

Aw hell yeah. Need to try that.

Coq au vin. Crispy skin was my off-piste addition but it was amazing. Way better than sloppy, soggy skin. From now on... every time.

Yum. I made elk bourguignon a week or two ago and that always gets me thinking about coq au vin.

I love curry

Me too. We had the green banana curry just the other day and a big curry feast earlier in the week. It's hard to get too much curry.
