Watching an episode of Good Eats and the question was asked - What do Brazil, New Zealand and Uruguay have in common?

No fair googling. Does anyone know? (food related of course).

They eat Guinea Pigs?

Might have to do with a fruit I call Guavas and they call--oh gosh, it's an F word. F---eo. Darn.

Feijoa

[Jenise]

Yes, those. Which I know to be popular in NZ and native to South America. They grow well in Southern California where I grew up but though plentiful then aren't widely known or grown now, which is too bad. I love them.

Well, then, what do China, New Zealand, and California have in common?

Chinese gooseberries, aka kiwi fruit?

Good guesses all, but the answer is that they all have more cows than they have people!

It is also true, per a post from Peter May that I just this second saw (regarding Chenin Blanc on the wine side), that these three countries have the lowest acreage of chenin blanc among major wine producing countries. Just sayin'.
