I have heard "Caramba!" as a swearword, but this is a fruit:
carambola
Definition: [kehr-ahm-BOH-lah]
When cut crosswise, this showy
fruit has a striking star shape,
which is why it's also called star
fruit. It favors tropical climates
and thrives in the Caribbean
countries, Hawaii, Central and
South America and parts of Asia.
The carambola ranges from 3 to 5 inches long and
is easy to identify by the five definitive ribs that
traverse its length. Its thin skin is a glossy
golden-yellow, its matching flesh beautifully
translucent and dotted occasionally with a dark
seed. When ripe, the carambola is exceedingly
juicy and fragrant. Its flavor, depending on the
variety, can range from exotically sweet to
refreshingly tart. In general, the broader set the
ribs, the sweeter the fruit. Carambolas are
available from summer's end to midwinter. Choose
firm fruit that has a bright, even color. Those with
greening on the ribs may be ripened at room
temperature. Use ripe carambolas within a few
days or store, wrapped tightly in a plastic bag, in
the refrigerator for up to a week. Carambolas,
which do not require peeling, are delicious eaten
out of hand, or used in salads, desserts or as a
garnish.

Sium Sisarum, or Skirret, is a plant of Chinese origin, cultivated in Europe. It has a sweetish,
somewhat aromatic root, which is used as a vegetable in much the same manner as the Oyster
plant or Salsify (Tragopogon porrifolius) and the Parsnip. It is supposed to be a useful diet in
chest complaints.
The name (Sium) is from the Celtic siu (water), in allusion to their habitat.
S. Sisarum has been cultivated in this country since A.D. 1548. When boiled and served with
butter, the roots form a dish, declared by Worlidge, in 1682, to be 'the sweetest, whitest, and
most pleasant of roots.'

Ultimately, they were defeated by Tuatha de Denann,and they were driven into the sea.

What Is Tempeh?
Most of our products are made with a soy product known as Tempeh. Tempeh
is a cultured cake of beans and/or grains that has been a staple food in
Indonesia for centuries. It is made by cooking and dehulling grains and
inoculating them with a culture called rhizopus oligosporus. The product is
then incubated overnight at the tropical temperature of 88 Degrees Fahrenheit.
During this time the beans or grains are covered with a thick, white mat of
mycelia that binds them together into a solid cake.

Tempe is one of my favourite foods, especially cut into little strips and fried with peanuts. Like sausages, as has been mentioned, it's not wise to enquire too closely into how it's made.

May we please have a breakdown of this term. It's cool having the word for that spiked helmet, but is the pickel here the same as the English pickle?

Dear WW: For a guess, the "pickel-" would be closer to "pike" a spear.
Now I've got to go look up etymology of "pickle".
