So you know I can't tell the difference between a zucchini and a cucumber, a turnip and a radish.
Undeterred, a couple of weeks back, the man asked me to get him a turnip. I got him a parsnip. The man was looking very hard for this furtive kent. He wasn't interested in the usual pumpkins. He could settle for butternut. But he insisted on finding the kent for the specific purpose of roasting.
I looked around at the baskets and pointed. "Oh that one! That looks good!"
The man eagerly descended in said direction. He paused. He looked at it rather solemnly. "Honey, that's a rock melon."
Oh.

jomel: OHDEAR. u too?!! AIYOH. send me a photo of the veg in a photo frame. i promise to identify it without googling. well...i didn't realize a Kent's a pumpkin till i googled it...
Actually that's why I shop at supermarkets... cuz I desperately need the labels so that I know remotely know what I'm buying.
