RE: Friday Night Eats! | The Birds are Smokin!
Looks such a tasty dish must have been so tasty
BUT being a Kiwi, no not the fruit, but a person from New Zealand I have to say
A Kiwi is actually a flightless bird the national bird of New Zealand
or what us from NZ call oursleves,
that fruit was originally called Chinese Gooseberry, and grows really well in New Zealand so they started marketing it as Kiwi Fruit, and thats what we all call it now, Unfortunately as it moved around the world some thought the Fruit was extra and not needed so dropped it from the name
Sorry for all that but its a pet thing I tend to go on about
@tattoodjay. I love this kinda stuff, this is the first time I’ve heard how kiwi got its name. Good lookin out! 👍🏿
Thanks I know I probably should not have said anything, but its a kind of pet thing with me LOL
I know about that flightless bird since elementary school though never have encountered any 😂 and I wonder why than people named the chinese gooseberry as Kiwi Fruit. I think its colour and feathered (velvet) skin made so.. or simply because NZ is produces most kiwi fruits for the world😆. Im in!
There is not to many of them left and there are rare to see in nature these days as they are nocturnal, most people will only ever see them in an aviary or Kiwi house
I think they names it that as it does kind if resemble a kiwi bird and to identify it was grown in NZ
