      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

      Delicious to be sure but I will not eat the skin and no one can make me think it is normal.

      The whole thing about calling a kiwifruit a kind of peach is that it's like this tradeoff, the skin is too thick and fuzzy to eat but there's no pit

      I never thought of it like that before.

      I eat the skin! I think of it like an extremely rough strawberry surface?

      But it's like biting into a macaque

      That said, one of the alternate Chinese names for a kiwifruit is "yangtao" ("strawberry peach"), so you're not the first person to have that thought

      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.
