34.11.2. Winter melon (冬瓜)
One of those unfortunate translations from the past. Wax, does it come out of someone’s ear? Gourd, WTF is a gourd?
Basically a softer Daikon (白萝卜, big long Chinese white radish), there’s likely some better comparison to a Western vegetable, but Ciro can’t think of one right now.
Good ways to eat include:
-
Daikon pork rib soup (排骨萝卜汤) but with winter melon instead of daikon
-
sweetheart cake filling. Yup, it can also be used in sweets!
