Questions for Nyezschky (how in TF DO you spell your name??)

[KoolBak]

All right manno....this is a cool veggie I've been growing for several years...Miniature sour mexican gherkins. Also known as mouse melons or sanditas. You ever see these in ol Mayheeko? They're like an inch long and look like tiny watermelons but they are actually a very distinct sour cuke.

I pickle them with some hot peppers and garlic. LOVE THEM.

[nietzsche]

i've never seen those KB, but i just read they originate in Mexico and Central America.

I think you asked me that before.

About my name, it helps if you remember it goes in descending order.. Z S C

[KoolBak]

Ow....my head.....

RL....pm me your address and I'll mail ya a small jar when they're ready ;o)

The plant is a climbing vine....fuckers absolutely EXPLODE and take over wherever you plant them. Made a fence thingy next to a bin of peppers and you cant see the pepper plants any more....lol. At this point, I have to pick every day thru like september to keep up. Can maybe 2-4 jars a day.....amazing.

pretty sure llama isn't allowed to receive packages from the US.

If you send him something you'll get flagged KB.

All his packages go thru a thorough inspection.

Hmmm....I wonder how customs would treat that....

[HitRed]

Can you slice one open and show the inside? It there a nut on the inside? I'd like to grow them.

[KoolBak]

It could work for any other canadian, but not you since you have the FBI and the FDA on your back.

Also kb... how is your spelling even remotely close from the pronounciation of the philosopher's name?
It's a hard one to spell, but at least try something that sounds the same!


For the record... it's pronounced neetchah /neetchuh somewhere in between

[2dimes]

Around here it is usually pronounced - neet chee. "Neet" and "Neat" would sound identical.

Though sometimes the end is hard A instead of hard E.
