A while ago I learned the original Chinese name for a kiwifruit (which is originally from China, and was rebranded as a New Zealand thing thanks to Cold War tensions) is a "monkey peach" This is a 1000x better name and makes me far more interested in eating them

The "yang" in "yangtao" isn't actually the name for a strawberry, it comes from the "yangmei", a strawberry-like Chinese fruit that's called the "Chinese strawberry" in English This stuff gets complicated

It’s really interesting, though. I love knowing there is an entire galaxy of fruits I have never seen or tasted.
