I prefer the name courgette to zucchini - it seems so much more exotic. It is a member of the same family that marrow, squash, choko and pumpkin belong. In my opinion choko and squash are deathly boring and bland, but the courgette is quite delicious. It resembles a small cucumber. The most common are dark green but they can also beyellow and pale green. Courgette flowers can be eaten.
