The seasonal transfer of surplus courgettes to neighbors who cannot refuse politely.
Courgettegifting peaks in August, when bags appear on doorsteps with notes that say "from the garden." Recipients accept with smiles and pass three of them on the same evening. The courgette circulates the street like currency until September, when the market closes and everyone pretends to miss it.
Etym. — courgette + gifting — the gift economy of the surplus vegetable.
