Buildings, Bread and Weird Fruit

September 30th, 2010 by Karen 17 Comments













The title pretty much says it all (I took these while I was out sightseeing on my last day in Milan).

By the way, you officially ROCK if you can name the weird fruit!

    A horse apple? That’s the closest thing I could find searching online.

    Mmm, lovely Italian bread 🙂

    It’s a Bule gourd! It’s a type of warted or warty gourd. It’s in it immature green state. Mature, it turns brown and does a very good imitation of a giant hairball. 🙂 Here’s it is: http://www.seedsavers.org/Details.aspx?itemNo=936

    I can tell it’s a gourd because it looks thick-skinned and has a really fibrous stem. A custard apple looks more like an artichoke shape and texture wise. A horse apple has a very close texture, but it would be the same size as the pomegranate sitting next to it and would be more wrinkled than warty.

    LOL– I’m making my farmer ancestors proud today! Happy Friday, everyone!! 😀

    It’s a gourd! Here in Northern Italy we make a very yummy soup with it either with vegetable stock or milk.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
