Is this a marrow?

Bloke next door gave it me and told me to cook it with spices and nagas but only knows what it is called in Bengali. The plant he took it off has flowers like a courgette so it must be from a similar family. Can anyone give a positive ID?

It's a lightsaber.

There's some sort of vegetable in the photo as well.

That is just for scale, it seems very small for a marrow but I am looking forward to eating it.

I can't comment on the vegetable as I thought this might be a sighting of Rogerborg's man arrow - marrow Wink

It might be a courgette - marrows are usually stripey. Either way, they're the same family and can be treated much the same way. Thumbs Up

Have you tried putting the Bengali name into google?

My mate gave me some courgettes that were twice the size of that. Apparently its down to the weather that they have grown so big this year!

I always thought marrows were what courgettes turned into if you simply left them to grow on the plant.

I thought courgettes were just baby marrows

Does look marrow-esque, but I would check you are certain what it is before eating it.

I recall a case a while ago where an Asian lady mistook Laburnum seed pods for runner beans and served them up to her family.

IIRC they survived, but they all had a spell in hospital as a consequence.

What is the Bengali name for it?

It's a marrow but just to be on the safe side blow it up and show us the results. Thumbs Up

That should confirm it.

I think it's a squash/gourd but there are lots of types of them Confused

I had a spaghetti squash that was very similar looking (faded-pattern and shape wise) but it was in yellow.

What you going to make with it?

It's a summer squash.

I have a garden full of them. You get them in all different colours and textures (even off the same plant).

I like to half them, scoop out the seeds then cover them in olive oil, crumbly salt, a bit of black pepper and roast them in the oven. I then put a spoonful of cream cheese in the hole the seeds came from and cover it with chilli (I actually like veggie chilli for this).

Some of them have soft skin you can eat, others have a hard shell.

They include the various named squash varieties (which make excellent soup and when roasted in chunks make for delicious risotto), cucumbers, courgettes, marrows, pumpkins and gourds.

I though courgette, marrow and squash were all the same thing?

To be honest they all taste of nothing so I guess it doesn't matter.
