You've probably had it in Mexican food at some point.Possibly. I don't eat a lot of Mexican food, and when I do, my impression is that (other than the authentic place I went to a lot, when I was in college) I eat pretty Americanized stuff.
Right. Sir. Honey.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No sex for you, Steph, ever.
If we can ever get her out to Seattle, I have a guy I can set her up with. He's sweet, charming, a wacky pagan, a HUGE comics geek, big fan of Buffy, Angel, and just about any other genre show, and would think she's gorgeous. The only possible drawbacks are 1) he's also a huge gaming geek, and is in (IIRC) three or four rpg campaigns a week, and 2) I don't know if Steph likes big, teddy-bear-ish type guys.

"Chinese [English vegetable]" is a weird naming convention. I've never quite understood it myself.
There's certainly no good explanation for "Japanese fruitcake," which doesn't remotely resemble anything from Japan.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Or "Jerusalem artichoke," which is neither an artichoke nor from Jerusalem.

If anybody can transplant Jilli's description to the east coast, I'll volunteer to make him happy, all the rest of his days.

Somehow, I doubt I can convince him to move.

Weren't kiwis originally called Chinese gooseberries?

Kiwis were called Chinese gooseberries. The change to kiwi was part of a marketing effort.

Curses. Does he like dogs? I might be persuaded...
