Many explorers who came to the Americas brought back what they considered strange foods, including the zucchini. The zucchini eventually found its way to Italy where it was named zucchino. Native American referred to zucchini as “something eaten raw.” However, we all know that zucchini tastes best cooked, especially in bread.
