    I've been buying "Jap" pumpkin for years, not realising it's short for Japanese. Kind of awful to think it's worked its way into the vernacular like that.

     

    is it Hokkaido pumpkin?
    the best pumpkin apart from butternut squash in my opinion! Best equal.

    Toronto is covered in pumpkins right now because of the North American Halloween cult. Quite nice but also somehow very comical. Like imagine if the city was suddenly scattered with giant potatoes or capsicums.

     

    you never realised Jap was short for Japanese?...he he

    actually I was told, by a Japanese guy, that the Japanese name for pumpkin is Kampuchea.....I have no idea...so link up there...and link up there...I have no idea why the Japs (and by that I mean Japanese) use the native word for Cambodia for pumpkin?

    any takers.....

     

    JAP - Just Another Pumpkin. Has nothing to do with Japan.
