what in **** is a vegetable marrow??

[redace1960]

(i'm u.s based, by the way.) i can't find a satisfactory answer to this. is it a zuchinni? a cucumber? some other cucurbit? a special preparation of vegetables? any member of the cucurbit family? a specific member that is'nt readily available in the u.s?
depending on the source i've gotten all these answers. anyone have the straight 411?

Yellow squash. They served it on the Titanic.

Redace, try the link below. It's a British squash. Best I could do.

Ooh maybe I'm wrong then. When I made that last dinner on the Titanic I remember I used yellow squash.

Actually, you are probably right, Kuan. The second definition says "creamy' to green skin. That could be yellowish.

And you did a great job on that last meal, I remember the squash was wonderful!

i traded my doggie bag for a life preserver.
-i live so close to b.c i add an occasional "eh?" to my sentences. we get all the b.c. cooking shows, and time and again someone will use a 'vegetable marrow' in whatever.....and it's always a different vegetable. usually zucchini, but often cukes and on one occasion pattypan squash.
i'm not a big squash fan, but now im curious. as eric idle would say, "wotzit like?"

Great squash listing in general.

The marrows can be used interchangeably with zucchini. I like them better though. THEY TASTE SWEET. And they are great grilled.
