I like 'em cut in half lengthwise, brushed with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled with Italian seasoning, and grilled on the barbie. <strong>AZ - Never heard them called "zukes" before.

Around the end of one summer, my family had a little protest and my husband held up his fork - with a little chunk of zucchini or courgette on the end of it and stated, "this is the last piece I am eating this year". I had only planted three plants. I had to give the surplus to neighbours. <strong>Peggy - Our neighbours are doing well indeed. "Zuccholo". No idea.
