marrows
Overgrown zucchini cousins
Marrows are large, mature zucchini-type squash with pale green skin and mild flesh, common in British cooking.
The word also names the soft, fatty tissue inside bones—bone marrow—prized in cooking and essential for blood cell production.
Figuratively, marrow means the innermost or essential part: chilled to the marrow, the marrow of his argument.
