Penguin Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Sorry to be a spoil sport, but Chinese gooseberrys come from china, some New Zealander discovered that they are tasty and took some home to grow and called them Kiwi fruit, penguin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cupster Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Sorry to be a spoil sport, but Chinese gooseberrys come from china, some New Zealander discovered that they are tasty and took some home to grow and called them Kiwi fruit, penguin "kiwifruit"..good marketing ploy by NZ farmers, not only is the name more palatable but most of the western world think they're native to NZ. Similar to OUR macadamia nuts..ask just about any American and they'll tell you they're native to Hawaii, because growers there market them as "Hawaiian macadamia nuts". Hi Carl, I guess that blackbox question was a bit obvious but i've always wondered why they are orange and not bright yellow as I thought yellow would be easier to spot underwater. Anyways thanks for another entertaining post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
