French dialectal, diminutive of courge, gourd, from Old French cohourde, from Latin cucurbita . Basically, it's a zucchini. The meaning of the word itself is "eaten as raw"... hope this helps!

A courgette is a vegetable that is related to the Marrow.
I have never heard of courgettes being used in a hamburger but have heard of Gherkins being used, just for the record Gherkins are part of the cucumber family which are pickled in vinegar.

As ego says you normally get gherkins on burgers, courgettes are a green vegetable, very tasty sliced and fried, Americans call them zucchini

They are Spanish Marinated roast vegetables spelled courgette. It would be like americans having fried onions, pepers and mushrooms on burgers.

Horrible little green cucumber shaped things that people rave about, because they think they're cool and show some class... when in fact, they're all been conned! I'd sooner eat a swede!
