WIKI NOTE: Zucchini or Courgette?
In North America, Australia, and Germany, the plant is commonly called a zucchini, from Italian: "zucchina", plural: "zucchine". In Scandinavia, however, the name squash is more commonly used than zucchini.
The name courgette is a French loan word and is commonly used in countries including the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, the Netherlands, and South Africa. In South Africa, the fruit is typically harvested as a baby vegetable, approximately finger size, and is referred to as “baby marrows”.
