Fascinating fact


I noticed this morning that i could say, not even under duress, the word courgette in 4 different languages.


I thought, Major, really, what an exciting life.

Ah, but more important, do you know four tasty recipes for courgettes (from four different countries of course)?

Thanks Medbh. I guess since it's the first bilingual blog you've visited, that it's also the best, which is pretty cool.

Red. That's showing off

Nick. I couldn't cook a courgette to save my life unfortunately.

Cooking courgettes is a doddle - just chop them into small slices and fry for ten minutes in olive oil (or whatever).

I'm not usually a courgette fan, but the nicest I've ever tasted were in Cafe Paradiso in Cork. No more than 3 inches long, sliced lengthways, and cooked in butter.
