Robert-Gilles – Son’s right, it is commonly known as the kiwifruit. Mmm tuna and kiwifruit sound good!

Son – Thanks for explaining that for me! Love you!

Robert-Gilles,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwifruit

“The fruit gets its name from a marketing strategy, naming it after the kiwi, the national bird of New Zealand, where the fruit was first commercially popularised in 1959 by the New Zealand fruit-and-vegetable export company Turners and Growers; previously it was known as the Chinese gooseberry, but due to the Cold War, the Chinese label seemed unfit for popularization of the fruit in Western countries. Growers gradually adopted the name and in 1974 the kiwifruit became the official trade name.”

The Chinese might sue you for that as the kiwi fruit originated there!
Good idea, though, as the fruit’s natural mix of seetnes and astringency will work well with the rice. Might be a good idea to use in small amounts with tuna!
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles

Awww, strawberries are good! But I would be the same way if I got some really sour ones too… sour isn’t really my thing hehe. I want to meet your dog!

Mmm… I’m like that with strawberries- I thought I liked them until one day I had a bunch of really horribly sour ones But your sushi looks fantastic! I’m a bit anti-eating-kiwi because sometimes it’s so sour… and plus, my dog’s name is Keywee (same pronunciation). Hahahahaha. (And people ask me, “But your dog’s not green!” and I’m all, um, but she’s furry and brown?)
