Cucuzzi is a gourd, bred to be eaten when immature. I found them to be best when about 1"-1.5" wide, at which point they are over a foot long. The flavor is different than summer squash, and hard to describe... we prefer to use it in soups, rather than eaten alone as a vegetable. If allowed to grow to maturity, they will form a very long, club-shaped gourd about 3-4 feet long. The vines are real monsters and grow quickly, even in my short summers - they will climb over everything nearby. Don't say we didn't warn you!
The plants have been "iffy" here; like most true gourds, they need heat to thrive, and that has been in short supply here in recent years.
