Cucuzza squas...Stacey:<br />Thanks for a wonderful post.<br />Cucuzza squash is called "dudhi" or "opo" squash in ethnic stores. They are the same in taste only the size is different shorter and rounder. There is a variety which is round and flat and tastes exactly like a cucuzza. We grow or have grown all of them in our garden in the Southern US.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565804864045167406.post-83073862217425840452012-08-17T10:46:36.464-04:002012-08-17T10:46:36.464-04:00My grandmother was an immigrant from Sicily and al...My grandmother was an immigrant from Sicily and always made the best zucchini fritters she called "googootz". Your blog made me realize the fritters she was trying to make were supposed to be out of "cucuzza" but she replaced ingredients to what she could find locally. We never understood what if "googootz" was really a word or what.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565804864045167406.post-36551302719459902232011-08-20T10:22:08.483-04:002011-08-20T10:22:08.483-04:00Stacey darling, I have no idea how hilarious you c...Stacey darling, I have no idea how hilarious you can be. I love this side of you :)<br /><br />I've never seen any summer squash this long. To me, it looks so pretty, and I want to plant this too next summer. I wonder if I can find the seeds? <br /><br />Anyway, your stew sounds and looks really scrumptious!Dewihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042444512389457494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1565804864045167406.post-21348057715632830612011-08-17T06:52:25.779-04:002011-08-17T06:52:25.779-04:00Thanks for the memories!

I'll be combing the area for some googootz, but something tells me in PA dutch country over here I'm going to have to settle for zucchini from my garden. I'm sure it'll be just as tasty.
