Much as I hate to side with the colonials on matters of language... Legolas Send a noteboard - 24/09/2010 11:34:52 AM
Indeed, or even what a zucchini is... some thing sordid and French I'll be bound. They are a depraved people!

your choice in this matter is between a French word (courgette) or an Italian one (zucchini). Although of course if one is gonna go for the Italian, the correct singular would be "zucchino".
