Viv, in a spirit of imagination, has just made a Marrow cake.

Should I:
(i) Accept this miracle of domestic goddess-hood and tuck in.
(ii) Claim I've just started a diet.
(iii) Inspect the house for an excess of stray cats.
(iv) Make a gift to the local shelter
(v) Anthing else?

Mrs C hollows out the middle, stuffs it with seasoned pork mince, then bakes it.

Delicious!!


Ratatouille, stuffed marrow, sauted marrow all exhausted.

The yellow ones may make good Halloween Minions.

BTW, the cake was very good. Had vanilla and chopped pecans in it as well.

Yum.

Last flying season one of the best cakes I had was the courgette cake in Popham. The courgette (and I assume marrow) doesn't really give it a flavour but it keeps the cake really moist. I think the one in Popham had some sort of lime something as well, possible a lime drizzle. Mouth watering just thinking about it!

Which variety are you growing?

Gardener's Question Time panel were once asked for suggested recipes for courgettes that had grown to marrow size.

The best answer was to " chop them into a one inch dice and then put them on the compost heap."

I concur.

After some feverish work: 'maw croaker'.

See if you can get away with that one :D
