What is it again?
On Saturday, I went to the grocery store by myself since miome wasn't up to it. I'm not fond of grocery shopping, but I'm also not fond of not having anything to eat. So off I went.
One of the things on the list was zucchini. I was in the produce section looking for it and couldn't locate any. Just as I was about to ask a store employee, I noticed a bin of yellow squash. Since zucchini is a type of squash, I figured it would be near by.
I was right. Sort of.
Beside it was a bin labeled "green squash." It was full of zucchini. Is this just a Virginia thing or what? I've never seen it called "green squash" before, though that's technically correct. I asked Miome when I got home, and she'd never heard it called that either. She also agreed that it was technically correct.
Not that it mattered much. The guy at the register rang it up as a cucumber. Which I guess I can understand, since they are both green, elongated, vaguely phallic fruits posing as vegetables.
Strange fact of the day: zucchini are swollen plant ovaries. The more you know, the more you wish you didn't.
