What is "a phone booth"? :D
It is where peolpe who haven't a mobile phone (there are stil a few about) can phone you if they can find one?
We have an old fashioned red GPO phone booth (a booth with a door) in Banbury. It was decomissioned when the newer ones came in. Now however, it has been fitted with shelves and is being used as a free library, you can take a book and leave one in exchange! 📖😀

A delicacy here in the SW at many restaurants as well!

I am not a big fan of zucchini, but I love the flowers! We take the open flowers, put a chunk of Mozzarella or Asiago cheese inside, twist the flower closed, dip it in a pancake type batter and fry it in oil. Delicious!
 
Hmmm, can you make wine from that?
YES! This was i-on WMT in 2009:

ZUCCHINI WINE

5-6 lbs fresh zucchini, chopped
2-1/2 lbs finely granulated sugar
1 11-oz can Welch's 100% White Grape Juice Frozen Concentrate
1-1/3 tsp acid blend
1/2 oz fresh ginger root thinly sliced
1 crushed Campden tablet
6-1/2 pts water
1 tsp yeast nutrient
Hock, Sauternes or Champagne yeast

Bring 3 cups water to boil and dissolve sugar in it completely. Set aside. Meanwhile, Select, wash and chop the unpeeled zucchini cross-wise into 1/2-inch pieces. Mix all ingredients except the yeast in primary, cover, and set aside for 10-12 hours. Add activated yeast and recover primary. Stir every 6-8 hours for 3 days, then strain off solids and transfer liquid into secondary. Press solids lightly and hold liquid from them, covered. When vigorous fermentation subsides, add reserved liquid, top up if necessary, and attach airlock. Rack after 4 weeks, top up and reattach airlock. Rack again after additional 4 weeks. If wine has not cleared, add amylase according to instructions and set aside additional month. Fine with Bentonite if desired, rack 10 days later, stabilize and sweeten to taste. Wait 3 weeks before bottling to see if wine is indeed stable. Wine should be aged 3 months after bottling.
