Stuffed zucchini is kusa mahshi. ... My mouth is watering now...

This is correct, kusa is generic name for zucchini, not the dish.
Fried kusa is "kusa meh'le"
Broiled kusa is "kusa meshoue"
Jeannine, i'll look for and buy what i can find. But to collect seeds (of all zukes) I thought the fruit should be overly ripe, almost to the point of it being inedible? The fruit in the market would be super green and young for best taste. I guess there's one sure way to find out.
