FYI a vegetable marrow is basically what you said, but I prefer to think of it as ‘winter courgette,’ like a hard winter squash instead of a squishy summer squash, because in my head that sounds more fancy / French and less ick? And yes of course I know this only because yet another book in which Poirot threatened to ‘cultivate marrow’ caused me to Google it years ago 🙂
