In which JD's boss isn't paying attention

Yesterday:

My boss:
How do you spell 'zucchini'?
Me: C-O-U-R-G-E-T-T-E.
My boss: No, zucchini. It's what Americans call courgettes.


A zucchini, or a courgette

I've never heard of a courgette, either. We call those yummy veggies zucchini on this side of the pond! :)
