pumpkin socks
As with all languages Turkish has its share of words that sound similar but have completely different meanings. Take çorap (sock) and çorba (soup) for instance.
While chatting to the pumpkin stallholder I inadvertently told him that in Britain people use pumpkins for making socks as opposed to the sweet dessert that is generally made in Turkey.
The error was quickly sorted out and we had a good laugh about it.
(I get my revenge when the locals confuse soap and soup!)

THE QUEEN OF FRUITS - Indonesian Mangosteen : Garcinia mangostana
Mangosteen: "The Queen of Fruits
The mangosteen grows on small evergreen trees in Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and southern India. Some farmers are trying their luck in Hawaii and the Caribbean, but the fruit is known for being difficult to grow. It is said that Queen Victoria offered a sizable prize to anyone who could bring an edible mangosteen back to England, but no one was able. The fruit achieved the heralded title, “Queen of Fruits,” a name still used by mangosteen adorers around the globe.
The mangosteen is a round, purple fruit slightly smaller than a tennis ball. To eat it, you can crush the brittle yet moist rind with your palms to reveal the pure-white delicacy inside. The bitter rind is inedible, and the fruit comes in the form of variously sized wedged segments, the largest of which may hold a solitary seed. The number of segments usually varies from 4 to 8 which is matched by the number of points on the protrusion from the underside of the fruit; therefore, you can discover how many segments you are in for before you open the mangosteen.
The flavor? It's really not like anything else you may have tasted, so do not take comparisons too literally. The mangosteen has flavors that range from strawberry, peach, vanilla ice cream - it is definitely sweet tempered with a very slight sourness. The flavor is divine and wonderfully delicate.
Umm... I think You have to try one of these :)

Upland Vegetable section (Gulay)
I call this the upland veggie section because the vegetables sold here are usually those that survive in the cooler climes of the central highlands of Luzon: trinidad valley, baguio, etc.
