    One of my most favourite vegetables which I used to grow in my Sydney garden... here in Scotland, not possible and it can't be bought either. *pouty face*... I do use good old marrow (giant zuchini) in similar fashion though. YAM xx

      Wow! Use of Zuchini is also a great idea and Zuchini is also a high fiber and low calorie veggie.
      Thank you.
