Bring the zucchini to my house!!! We’d love some! My mom used to can zucchini with tomatoes and I loved that as a side (one of the few veggies I actually like). I also just came across a recipe on FB for zucchini “meat” balls. They look really good! I want to try them.
Not everyone is a zucchini fan, as I discovered back when I had a garden. They’ll eagerly take your proffered peppers or tomatoes but shun the squash. Fortunately, I lived in a community, at the time, that hosted a horde of herbivores. Unfortunately, many of them grew zucchini in their gardens.
Drop them at my house, Earl. Along with some yellow squash, red pepper, green pepper, mushrooms, broccoli, and asparagus. I’ll whip up some of my Dad’s World Famous Basil Chicken Pasta. Sauteed in olive oil with onion salt, garlic salt, pepper, basil, oregano, and cilantro.
I’ll have to go visit my mother soon. She always has a garden and she’s great at growing tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, and zucchini. I love taking some home with me and cooking up dishes with homegrown veggies.
I was never a fan of zucchini until I began to julienne it. Now I wouldn’t mind receiving a carload full (well, maybe not full) of the stuff – it’s a decent spaghetti substitute and far more nutritious.
The South Beach Diet got me interested in zucchini and yellow squash. I never liked cucumbers and always substitute zucchini for it. The South Beach Diet’s Green Gazpacho calls for 2 1/2 pounds of cucumbers, so I always substitute 2 1/2 pounds of zucchini for it.

Also, so much for being neighborly. (The rifled neighbor probably saw Earl and Opal coming.)

Just Earl’s luck to pick the doorstep of a policeman’s house!

And by the time they got home, there was twice as much zucchini in the bags.

Is this some strange American custom to put unwanted courgettes on other peoples’ doorsteps?

You can put them on my doorstep. I love zucchini. I can smell the zucchini bread baking now.

You know you live in a small town when the only time you lock your car is at church, and that’s just so nobody gives you zucchini.

In my home town in the summer one had to lock their car when they went to church else it would be full of zucchini when you returned.

I think it’s a bit too early in the growing season for anyone to have that many zucchinis to foist upon their neighbors.

You can make zucchini Parmesan… Replace the eggplant.

Can we say God wants us to eat zucchini because he made it so easy for us to grow?

Don’t like them much as is, but they are great in ratatouille. Unfortunately, I have to buy them and they are not cheap here.

(sigh) I must be the only gardener in the US who has totally failed at zucchini. On the other hand, my tomatoes are outstanding!

You know you have too much zucchini when you start making zucchini daiquiris.

Whoever craves for Zucchini is a fool.
Just kidding. I can think of much stranger cravings.

Next door neighbor, Japanese-Hawaiian Mama-san, grew a zucchini that could have fed the whole street one year.
