Gherkins are way better than Courgettes, I hate Courgettes and when I see them in my food I want to cry because I have to pick them all out when I should be eating.
Good lord, I was 15 when this thread was started....
I hate gherkins and pickles of any kind. Love courgettes but only when they are still small and crisp, don't care for marrows. Butternut squash is the best of all.
