Chinese water chestnut + Yellow zucchini

The Chinese water chestnut (Eleocharis dulcis; synonyms E. equisetina, E. indica, E. plantaginea, E. plantaginoides, E. tuberosa, E. tumida), more often called simply the water chestnut, is a grass-like sedge grown for its edible corms. The water chestnut is actually not a nut at all, but an aquatic vegetable that grows in marshes, underwater in the mud. It has tube-shaped, leafless green stems that grow to about 1.5 metres. The water caltrop, which is also referred to by the same name, is unrelated and often confused with the water chestnut.

Zucchini or courgette is a summer squash which can reach nearly a meter in length, but which is usually harvested at half that size or less. Along with certain other squashes and pumpkins, it belongs to the species <i>Cucurbita pepo</i>. (Wikipedia) Yellow zucchini, or golden zucchini, was developed by the W. Atlee Burpee Seed Company from a Fordhook Zucchini crossed with a Bicolored Gourd and released in 1973 (http://www.cooksinfo.com/burpee-golden-zucchini). It is said to have a distinctive flavour that is somewhat sweeter than green zucchini.
