Does a marrow taste like a courgette?!

cjb, 21 August, 2008 at 11:24 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 6

Am trying to be economical with my shopping (!) and see that Tesco's online have half-price marrows... I usually get through a tonne of courgettes to roast or stir fry and I know that marrow and courgettes are related but do they taste the same? Anyone got marrow-expert advice - thanks!

    Not in this house it doesn't because I peel and de-seed marrow so as a result it tastes nothing like courgette, sorry!

    Erm.... not much really. TBH, I get given them by my grandad who grows them, so they wouldn't be my veg of choice. I peel, de-seed and cube it and boil for 3-4 mins. Doesn't really taste of anything, really. Not selling it to you, am I? ?

    I had marrow for the first time last night! I;d say yes it does taste like a courgette (but then theyd on't really taste of much do they?). I sliced, deseeded, chopped and roasted in the oven. i didn't peel tho - should I have?????

    it was nice enough. not sure i'd rush to get another unless it was on offer tho.

    Mmm.. maybe I will make the marrow leap then, as it's only 74p!

    Legless - I think stuffed and baked was how I remember it... maybe I'll give it another go...
