Calendula - a GREAT photo!  What are the yellow things?

Froglegs -  Farmer's Long - replacement for Macchiaw. Although I try all sorts, I always grow the longs for earliness & meatiness. OK, you can't stuff them, but that no loss to me. Even outdoors in the Cotswolds they've been reliable.

Deb - grateful for those but, even though that's the 3rd or 4th pick, we're still short on average. Use? No problem - except my TIME - & JARS - had to buy some!!

1. Vegetable Moussaka for the veggie family influx this w/e.

2. Mamta's Aub Pickle.

3. Madhur's Aubs in the Pickling Style.

4. Aub Raita.

There won't be many left!!

thank you kind sir  :-*

the 'yellow things' are aubergine striped toga - actually bright orange with a greenish stripe and no bigger than 3 inches, almost like a tomato inside (same family of course)

they all got cooked together so cannot comment on individual flavour but I have just a few left and if they ripen will do a raw taste and let you know

you can check them out at Plants of Distinction - http://www.plantsofdistinction.co.uk

I'm all for trying any variety of aubergine, love them all
