What do they taste like? Are they a squash?

**Xenonic_Rob** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:31 PM

OK, well I'm not really sure what a "squash" is (we don't have them in UK, that's what we call cordial) but I'd hesitate a guess and say that yeah, it's a squash.

It tastes... vegetablelike. You use it in stuff like rattatui

**chrisjk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:34 PM

the americans don't call them courgettes, I forget what they call them though...

denniswrenn · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:35 PM

zuccini?

**chrisjk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:36 PM

Ahh, found it, they call them zucchinis

**Xenonic_Rob** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:36 PM

I guessed that. It's like Aubergine isn't it - the Americans call them eggplants.

**Xenonic_Rob** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:37 PM

That's the one!!

So Katie - they're Zuccinis!!!!

**barrk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:38 PM

Okay....I just did a search on courgettes and I think they are bell peppers...but they aren't cucumber shaped so maybe I'm wrong. They sounded very similar....bell peppers can be green, red, or yellow and are very yummy! Not sure if it's the same thing though.

**barrk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:38 PM

Oh...........I love zucchinis and yep they're a squash!

**Xenonic_Rob** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:40 PM

Great stuff. Well, now we've got that one sorted, I'm off to watch BigBro.

Bye all

I think we started it..this is the second year it's been on.

**barrk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:49 PM

Yikes! Thanks a bunch!

**chrisjk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 04:51 PM

no worries!

**barrk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:01 PM

Millionaire and Survivor and Weakest Link and Big Brother..........this is the best you have to offer? You have my condolences

**chrisjk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:08 PM

Those you listed are new phenomenas, and take the grade down a bit in my opinion (apart from Millionnaire)

And all of them (apart from Weakest Link) are mere American interpretations of the original. So

**barrk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:14 PM

I think I'll just stick with "real" American shows rather than the modified imports.....thanks anyway

**SurfDemon** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:31 PM

What about Junkyard Wars, Who's line is it anyway, the big breakfast, don't forget your toothbrush, TGI Friday, Robot Wars

**SurfDemon** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:32 PM

I saw that chap with the knife on the news and he was trying to say that he was joking when he did it.... okay, either he isn't the btightest beacon in the harbour or he's a little bit disturbed in the head. Either way, I don't think I would be comfortable locked in a house with someone like that!

I'm sure we'll hear more news of him in weeks to come

Junkyard Wars, Who's line is it anyway are direct imports not remakes........much better! I do like BattleBots though. I didn't realize it was a remake.

**SurfDemon** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:41 PM

Nah, they're both remakes.

Junkyard wars in britain is called scrapheap something or other, and is hosted by Kryten from Red Dwarf. The American whos line is it anyway is hosted by Drew Thingymybob from the Drew Carrey show...er, okay, I guess that would be Drew Carrey then...

I'm having a bit of a problem with whatchamacallits... er names this afternoon

**barrk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:43 PM

Comedy central also plays the british version of who's line.....junkyard wars is hosted by two brits so I assumed....sorry.

Aha! I suspect you're getting the British version of the program after-all. I must apologise! Up here in Canuck land they constantly show the American versions, which are actually just as good.... except they dodn't have Bodger Bowser in the Junkyard teams....

**barrk** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:51 PM

Tom really likes the female host....but feels she could do with a few less clothes.

**SurfDemon** · Jul 13th, 2001, 05:52 PM

Oh yeah! The blonde, she's a right cutie!

I heartily agree with Tom. In fact, this guidline could be extended to any number of shows....

From courgettes to Big Brother to war-against-British-TV to Junkyard Wars- corr I love how these threads deviate
