I am informed that they are marrows, & thus apparently less susceptible
to many of the interesting things that people are suggesting.  Butternut
squashes, I note, are lovely things which I like very much :-)  

(this is where it becomes clear that I really do *very little* of the
cooking these days...)

Though I guess roasting-type things might still work OK, because it
should get rid of lots of the water.  Which IIRC is the main problem
with marrows - all that nice courgettey taste is diluted in loads &
loads of watery nothingness.
