the norma jeane mortenson of the fruit world


My apologies to other fruits if this statement hurts their little feelings, but face it, kiwi fruit is gorgeous. Originally named Chinese Gooseberry, they were introduced to New Zealand in the 50's where someone thought they might rename it. Just like Miss Mortenson changed her name to Marilyn Monroe, a clever little man from Auckland gave her a new moniker: Kiwifruit. Gorgeous.

    mmm.. I like it.
    Honeydew melon on the other hand, though tasty, gives me some sort of weird, itchy throat sensation.
