    A courgette isn’t a culinary vegetable.

    I might as well argue I have direct physical evidence that Bigfoot exists, because my friend Steve has big feet so he’s clearly a sasquatch.

      You clearly didn’t bother to read anything I wrote (or you completely lack reading comprehension), but I’ll give it one more shot.

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zucchini

      This article is about the vegetable. For other uses, see Zucchini (disambiguation).

      In cookery, it is treated as a vegetable, usually cooked and eaten as an accompaniment or savory dish, though occasionally used in sweeter cooking.

      A 1928 report on vegetables grown in New York State treats ‘Zucchini’ as one among 60 cultivated varieties of C. pepo.

      In France, zucchini is a key ingredient in ratatouille, a stew of summer vegetable-fruits and vegetables prepared in olive oil and cooked for an extended time over low heat.

      In 2005, a poll of 2,000 people revealed it to be Britain’s 10th favorite culinary vegetable.
