SC - Fruit Query

[Christina Nevin]

Cool! Thanks for the info.
I was just interested in whether it was a fruit people still knew and ate
today and if it had migrated to another name - rather like Chinese
Gooseberries aka Kiwis/Kiwifruit (which only New Zealanders seem to call it)
which also had another name originally which I can't remember.
Curiosity may have killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back...
