Adjectival form of The Spiralizer ( a proper noun) can only be Spiralized it cannot be spiralised even if this somehow seems more "english" and therefore more "educated". For the record I can think of nothing more disgusting than quinoa bolognese except parsnip served instead of girasole articiocco (see contributions passim).
My sister's pasta free lasagna might top that. It may have worked had the butternut squash been thinly sliced.
With regards the the former discussion why not simply say a courgette which has been put through the Spiralizer/Spiraliser.

And pretty much no one in the USA actually buys zucchini in a store. Instead they have a neighbor who decides to try vegetable gardening and who then puts in a few of those plants because they're supposed to be easy to grow. Which it is to the point where the zucchini takes over the whole back yard and the amateur farmer, after passing along as much of the veg to friends and family as they will take, ends up putting lots of it in brown paper bags and leaving it on the porches of strangers

In a somewhat last gasp to get back to topicness, here is said Zucchini and Lime Cake, or the Gatwick version thereof. Frankly I don't mind what it's called so long as I get a big slice.

I have also realised the irony of my thread title, given some Americans do actually call BA just 'British'!

It has really upset me that they have changed the film 'ma vie de courgette' to 'my life as a zucchini'. He wasn't an actual courgette that's just what his mother called him, she didn't call him Zucchini! Anyway; that's my courgette/zucchini rant over with.
