    I often use them thinly sliced instead of the pasta sheets in a Lasagna or similarly, in a Moussaka instead of the aubergine.
    If you can use them as sheets for lasagne, how thicker they get, mine are long hard but thin, will they thicken up as they get older?
    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

      • I found that they get thicker as they grow, Rary. Some of mine, in previous years, went a little softer as they grew bigger too.

              Being squirly whirly is natural to a Tromba. A straight one wouldn't be "right"!

                      they often go straighter as they grow,the weight pulles em down,plus I was amazed at just how strong the y are where they join the main stem,i did not need to support any fruits,
                      forgot to add snort snort snigger
