These are (summer) squash.
Zucchini, aka courgettes.
In England, this is also squash.
Condensed juice, essentially.
Dan was over last night for dinner and Doctor Who, and a bottle of the latter was next to the cutting board where I had just chopped up some of the former. “What’s that?” Dan said, pointing at the bottle.
“That’s squash,” I said.
“No, I know that’s squash,” he said. “But what’s that?”
“Yeah, that’s squash.”
“What?”
“Oh—oh! No, I know you’re not stupid! I don’t mean the zucchini!”
Thanks a lot, England!
