七8九!
https://images.plurk.com/7oNsd99JIgeGHkp1e6HSf2.png the mysterious rare north melon
mango diequiri
huh
blueraven
directional melons
七8九!
directional melons are important
七8九!
what the heck does pumpkin even mean
empress (temp.)
In Cantonese we call broccoli "west orchid flower" and cauliflower is "cabbage flower"
queen (temp.)
also yellow gourd is 'sickly green gourd'
queen (temp.)
in Cantonese
七8九!
oooh
七8九!
so it's not 黄瓜?
queen (temp.)
no! It's the same green that you call someone's face when they're sick
七8九!
ooooh
七8九!
so shen qingqiu is sickly now...
queen (temp.)
I am amazed that there is a North Melon
七8九!
when i googled all the results were like DO NORTH MELONS EXIST? DO THEY??? so i guess all of china has wondered this
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
...my dumb ass thought it was lan gua the whole time and not nan gua
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
also watermelons originally come from africa so west melon kind of makes sense
七8九!
to be fair, it took years for me to learn that it's 马上 and not 忙上
七8九!
to this day my sister still says the latter
七8九!
similarly, the dictionary tells me 糯米 is pronounced nuomi but i grew up saying luomi and when i told mama she was also like
mango diequiri
my mom says it lan gua bc of her accent so I feel that ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
七8九!
aaaahhh darn you plurk coin
mango diequiri
oh same @ luomi
七8九!
luomi high five!!
七8九!
mango diequiri
she can't say n for some reason it always turns into ng or l
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
wait
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
it's NUOMI?????
mango diequiri
yes
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
omg.....
七8九!
and so another joins the luomi team
mango diequiri
ROFL
empress (temp.)
In cantonese it's langua and luomi XD
mango diequiri
love how we are all slowly learning these
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i almost decide to change my nickname to luomi.....
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i....
七8九!
in nanjing it is also luomi apparently
mango diequiri
my mom is Hunanese www
empress (temp.)
or rather lamgua and lomai
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
yeah we're hunanese so this makes sense
mango diequiri
hi5!!
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
hi5!!
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i mean
mango diequiri
my dad is Cantonese so
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
considering we are FROM the south
mango diequiri
we were doomed from the beginning
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i think we should change it to langua
七8九!
i think we should keep nangua and rewrite donggua to be east melon
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i think it makes mroe sense as winter melon tho
mango diequiri
agree
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
because i like to avoid it in the winter
mango diequiri
with east melon
mango diequiri
ahaha
七8九!
ssshh winter may make more sense but we must complete the quartet
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
can't we just adopt another melon for east
七8九!
double donggua...
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
like a japanese melon... what's a really japanese melon
七8九!
i suddenly remembered 傻瓜
七8九!
https://images.plurk.com/6a0dNJSNVs8rgoNtzjIg9H.png
mango diequiri
dongdonggua
七8九!
jidonggua
mango diequiri
oh silk melon is one of my favorites
mango diequiri
even if it's a huge pain in the ass to cook
七8九!
i can't remember which melon that is but i'll eat any melon that isn't bitter
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
why can't we rename silk melon
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
it's gross
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
also it's loofah, it's like
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
slimy but u can dry it to spongy
mango diequiri
omg... it's tasty...
mango diequiri
I'll eat all the silk melon
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
im so illiterate lol
七8九!
googles--oh those are fine
七8九!
silk melon isn't my favorite but it's good
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
you guys can keep it i hate the texture
七8九!
i hate the texture of avocados so i feel you
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
oh great i fuckin love avocados
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
trade
七8九!
speaking of which, avocados in chinese are cow oil fruits
七8九!
just as gross as their name
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
u know cow oil is just butter right
七8九!
sshhh
mango diequiri
cow oil...
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
but i've also heard they can be regionally called aligator pears
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
and i love that
七8九!
i went to an alligator zoo in china once
七8九!
alligators everywhere
mango diequiri
I usually don't think about the names of things so this is very funny ww
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i mean, is butter not cow oil
mango diequiri
fair tbh
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
it hink milk oil would make more sense tho
七8九!
i don't like eating raw butter either so my texture problem remains
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
bc cow oil could be lard
mango diequiri
isn't butter just yellow oil
七8九!
coconut flakes taste like confetti and butter fruits taste like silly putty
七8九!
i don't make the rules
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
? what oil are you consuming that is not yellow
mango diequiri
no I mean the literal name...
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i think those are both names for it
七8九!
pleco is giving me 黄油,酥油,牛油,奶油,白脱油
七8九!
for butter
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
but like my mom calls croissants 牛油面包
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
we don't say butter in chinese... tbh
七8九!
whenever mama tells me to get the butter she says butter
七8九!
baituo
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
奶油 is the only one that makes snese
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
like
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
oil should be yellow... tbh
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
unless it's coconut oil i guess
七8九!
奶油 sounds like cream to me
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
aw damn
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
what's cream i never say cream in chinese either
七8九!
pleco tells me 奶油 can mean both
七8九!
so i guess it's regional maybe?
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
ok that's confusing
七8九!
so in my personal experience it's cream
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
but cream being milk oil is weird, it really should just be like
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
fat milk
七8九!
肥油 sounds gross though
七8九!
or wait
七8九!
肥奶?
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
yea the second one
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
fat oil is redundant
mango diequiri
奶油
mango diequiri
is also cream to me
七8九!
yeah!!
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
well
mango diequiri
I've never heard 牛油 before...
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
butter is made by whipping cream
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
so maybe butter should be hard-milk-oil
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
my mom rly loves croissants so for a long time i didn't realize 牛油 was butter and i thought 油 was some word for horn i didn't know
七8九!
we just say croissant in english...
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
but then my mom told me they're also called 牛角面包
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
so that's extra confusing
七8九!
i suddenly remembered the time i tried to get my aunt to read a picture book and she couldn't pronounce words that ended in r
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
for some reason she never learned the word croissant
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
like
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
my dad never learned the word for parsley
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i mean cilantro, he calls it parsley*
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
so i brought home parsley once cuz he asked for it and he was like what is this trash
mango diequiri
omg
mango diequiri
parents...
mango diequiri
language is so weird www
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
bruh at the store i called my dad like "flat leaf, italian or curly" and he was like "regular"
mango diequiri
REGULAR LEAF...
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
but like
七8九!
that sounds reasonable
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
so my parents and i don't eat lettuce right
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
and some guy walked up to me in a panic once at the chinese grocery asking me to help him find iceberg
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
apparently iceberg is round-raw-vegetable
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
and so i was like dad what is this vegetable and my dad was like i have no idea
七8九!
i know the name "iceberg lettuce" but if you asked me to pick it out from a lineup i'd fail miserably
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
well it took my entire family and this guy like 5 minutes to figure out he meant iceberg
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
and then my dad was like "i don't think they carry lettuce here but if you want lettuce varieties you should go to the white people supermarket"
七8九!
perfectly reasonable answer
七8九!
logical
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
also.... iceberg is the really pale round one that looks like cabbage
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
but is dabaicai colored
七8九!
ohhh regular lettuce
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
...kes sends me to the store looking for lettuce, i ask "you want iceberg, romaine, butter or spring mix"
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
"regular"
七8九!
yes
七8九!
what the heck is spring mix
七8九!
butter lettuce??
七8九!
just get regular
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
yall dont get spring mix?
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
https://imgs.plurk.com/QBm/8RI/2SCjVJKn5iaATHWNzBfLt3qerZB_lg.png butter and bibb are p similar imo
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
they are not as crunchy but don't taste too bad wilted and have a lot more structural integrity so they are great for wraps
七8九!
mama buys lettuce by the head!
七8九!
spring mix sounds like a bag thing
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
https://imgs.plurk.com/QBm/9Gz/XHfoM5pv36me20t8eLVvDvusfbh_lg.jpg yea
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
idk what goes in it
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
a mix i guess
七8九!
oh it's got those weird red leaves in it
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i like those :-( but idk how to get them outside of spring mix
七8九!
i don't like them....
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
thats ok i will eat them
七8九!
yes good
mango diequiri
Arugula and spinach are considered lettuce,???
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
for the purpose of a salad yea
mango diequiri
Huh
mango diequiri
TIL
ɢᴏᴏᴅ⭐ʙᴜᴄᴋ⭐ʙᴀʙᴇ
i mean they are not but like tomato is a fruit but i wouldn't put one in a fruit salad
七8九!
why not-
mango diequiri
Salads are confusing
七8九!
who needs salads anyway
七8九!
gross
Oldyellow
Beans salads
queen (temp.)
speaking of salads. one time in HK my aunt was having me over for dinner and at the market she was like oh you really need to try this! and she bought this really pretty looking cai that had little things that look like beada of water all over it but was a natural growth on the plant, yeah?
queen (temp.)
so I looked it up afterwards because it was so pretty and tasty! it's very famously used in French as a high end salad green....my aunt put some oil in some water and blanched it
queen (temp.)
...i feel like that leaf with the red vein could be red malabar spinach
queen (temp.)
also according to Baidu Winter melon is sometimes also called east melon
七8九!
gasp another directional melon
queen (temp.)
I was wondering because the north melon's sign mentioned and east melon so I was like. Wait
queen (temp.)
'Flesh like an east melon, Looks of a West melon, it's a type of south melon. Its name is north melon'
queen (temp.)
...wait. How can it be a squash and have a texture like donggua
七8九!
sssshhh don't question it
