Backstory:
I ordered a Morrison’s Loose Courgette to use in a healthy stir-fry. Simple, right? But little did I know, this courgette had other plans.
The trouble started when I put it on the kitchen counter. I turned my back for a moment to grab the chopping board, and when I returned, it was gone. I assumed my wife had swiped it for one of her salads (or one of her mysterious “projects”), but hours later, it reappeared—upstairs. On the nightstand.
At first, I thought I was imagining things, but over the next few days, the courgette showed a curious ability to relocate itself. One minute it was in the fruit bowl, the next, it was on the bathroom shelf, as if it had taken a wrong turn on the way to the kitchen. My wife denied moving it, but the smirk she gave me said otherwise.
Review:
Pros:
1. Fresh and Versatile: The courgette itself was top quality—firm, green, and perfect for roasting, frying, or (theoretically) teleporting.
2. Good Size: Not too big, not too small—ideal for a single dish or, apparently, a cross-house adventure.
3. Healthy and Affordable: A budget-friendly way to add some veggies to your meals, assuming it stays where you leave it.
Cons:
1. Mysterious Mobility: If you’re not careful, this courgette might end up living rent-free in your upstairs hallway.
2. Wife Magnet: Highly appealing to partners with a flair for pranks—or creative culinary ideas.
3. Unexplained Behavior: No clear instructions for dealing with self-relocating produce.
Unexpected Adventures:
Eventually, I caught my wife in the act, sneaking the courgette from the kitchen with a guilty laugh. “You weren’t going to use it tonight, were you?” she said, holding it like a prize. What she wanted with it upstairs remains a mystery, but let’s just say the courgette was “resting” on the window ledge for most of the evening.
By the time I reclaimed it, the courgette felt less like an ingredient and more like a guest in our home. When I finally chopped it for dinner (a delicious veggie bake, by the way), I half-expected it to reappear on the sofa during dessert.
Final Thoughts:
The Morrison’s Loose Courgette is fresh, versatile, and delicious, but it seems to come with a side of household intrigue. Whether it’s due to a mischievous spouse or its own mysterious powers, this courgette kept us on our toes before finally making its way to the frying pan.
Would I recommend it? Absolutely, with one caveat: keep an eye on it. 9/10—for quality, flavor, and the unexpected entertainment of trying to keep it in the kitchen. Bonus tip: If your courgette starts disappearing, check upstairs—or ask your wife what she’s plotting!
