Being an officially multicultural land, we call them zucchini. Didn't
see them around at all in my youth, but readily available these days.
Probably a migrant thing -- though perhaps just "southern". (Here in
the deep north we didn't do much other than spuds, pumpkin, and
cabbage for cooking when I was a kid. Some carrots and green beans
and, for the masochists, peas you had to shell yourself.)

Cheers, Phred.
