Zucchini is a really underrated vegetable. So fast to cook, so versatile, so flavoursome. And pretty. Just straight up sliced and sauteed in olive oil with some onions and oregano = πŸ‘ŒπŸ½

I acknowledge the reality is completely different when you're drowning in a glut of garden zucchini.

I think one of the most delicious things I've tasted was after straining a heap of them in bulk for zucchini slice. Just drank it as is.

Also tempura zuccs get a solid nod from me.

Who's underrating the zucchini? Gimme names. Best veg out there.

Potato laughs at you

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Pfft. Potato's still cooking man.

Me. They taste of nothing and mush. Except for the yellow ones raw in salad.

Sorry 😿 I don't like eggplant or mushrooms either. I was a very inconvenient vegetarian.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Oh this is getting worse.

you can also pickle it a treat. Comes out a bit sweeter than cucumber, delicious in burgers

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Now cucumber is a fake vegetable I could happily do without for the rest of my life.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

And I love them. Go figure.

I thought I liked you

Edit. I thought U said zucchini sorry, we can be friends still. Cucumber is lame

[–] just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago

Cucumber is lame crunchy water, zucchini is the superior cucurbit of deliciousness 🀝

Mine aren’t giving a glut :( I think the pots are too small, weather too hot and not enough fertiliser

[–] melbourne_wanderer@aussie.zone 3 points 1 month ago

I eat, on average, a zucchini a day. Love 'em.
