The dread of zucchini is universal, even bears will run terrified when confronted with one.
One year as a kid, weary of how prodigious the plants were, and moms creative cooking ways, I would sneak up to the garden several times a week and yank the just forming blossoms. She couldn’t figure out why the plans just quit producing so suddenly.

Only in my neck of the woods, EVERYone had a mess of those cursed plants in their gardens. People would scatter like cockroaches when they saw someone walking up to them with a grocery bag even before they saw the contents.
I figure that bear turned tail before she could break out the “oh, why don’t you take some home with you?!?”

Well, that covers the “what vegetable for ursus” question.

What can I say? The woman knows alternate uses for the zucchini. More (power) to her (the zucchini is unpowered, get it?)

Glad to know I’m not the only one who hates @#%$@#$ zucchini.

A Scotsman would have no need of a zucchini, he’d just lift his kilt and the bear would die of fright!

The bear had obviously missed the lesson of the “self defence against fresh fruits and vegetables” class covering zucchini.

The bear figured if it didn’t leave quick, it’s be leaving with a whole box of the damned things.

There is a special place, in my heart, for a woman who can wield a zucchini that well.

Heh! I hate zucchini, too. And I have eaten boiled sheep intestines.
