  Courgette   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Courgettes are the same family as Marrows and were originally the same variety of vegetable harvested at a younger stage.
Courgettes can be found on our shelves all year round, however to achieve this; the crop has to be grown in a number of different countries.
Courgettes like warm sunny days and during the English summer they can grow from a small flower to a full sized fruit in a matter of hours and therefore they are one of the freshest vegetables you can buy in the summer.

 Zucchini - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zucchini (US and Australian English) or courgette (New Zealand and British English) is a vegetable.
In 2005, a poll of 2,000 people revealed the courgette to be Britain's 10th favourite culinary vegetable.

 Courgette
Courgette, the name used in France and Britain, could easily, the present writer felt, have been Icelandicised as *korsétta, but this appears not to have occurred to anyone apart from the writer, and the word is used by no-one apart from the members of his immediate family, and probably not even by them.
Courgette, the name by which they are known in France and also in Britain, is the diminutive of courge, an alternative form of gourde, and derives therefore also from cucurbita.
The courgettes one encounters in the vegetable section of Icelandic supermarkets are almost obscenely large – a good foot long some of them – and look as if they might have been prize-winners at some agricultural show, rather than anything designed for the table.

Their firm flesh and delicate taste make a wonderful dish when fried in a little butter, or stir-fried with chicken and ginger.
