Reminded me of this recent HN article about a fruit politely called a medlar. A forgotten medieval fruit with a vulgar name (bbc.com) https://news.ycom

- cucuas 6y agoI don't get that article at all. Medlars are common enough in Italy in the fall and frequently made into gelato (nespola/nespole). Maybe they've disappeared from the UK...then again it's not like the UK is known for its deep culinary variety or knowledge.
