Stumble it!

Zucchini is so bad that most cultures won't even name it.

I like Zucchini as well... don't get me wrong, it's no asparagus, but it has its own charm in a way.

"The Spanish must actually like the green vegetable, as they're one of the only languages that has it's own word"

That's not true. In Urdu we call it "Kheera". It's used quite frequently in salads and the like.

Zucchini has historically been a poor-man's food.

I can see why...it tastes like the vegetarian version of ass.

.. sorry for deviating from the topic.

Is this the new layout of Shoutwire or just beta testing ? Exiting, will take a while to get a hang of it though .

I hate courgettes, one of the most foul tasting vegetables ever.

In Russian we call it "tsukini," so we borrowed the word from the Americans who in turn borrowed the word from the Italians. Most languages will occasionally borrow words from another language. None of this means some things are "so bad" they're not worth naming.
