> I seem to remember that the "official" name of kiwifruit was actually changed a few years back to something beginning with "z"
I have a faint memory of this particular delicious fruit being called "chinese gooseberries" in UK when I was a child. Which seems reasonable if it originated in China, because it certanly does resemble a gooseberry in shale and colour.
