Name the Vegetable Game
Okay, I’m a little late with these pics – and now I’m in a bit of “pickle”.
I have all these veggie photos from the Pettah trip but I don’t have their names!! I need to get these out of the way, so that I can share another really neat shopping place I visited this week…So can you help? Just click on the word “Comments” below if you know any of these!

| Photo#1 What is this woman chopping? | Photo#2 – I’ve seen these at home – They kind of look like cucumbers with warts. | |
 |
 |
|
| Photo#3 – Notice the size…see the cabbage and peppers? | Photo#4 – If these were more purpley, you might think it was turnip…wrong!! | |
 |
 |
|
| Photo#5 – Okay, this is for double points – What’s that brown bumpy thing on the left and the white items in the middle, which I think I had in a soup in China. | Photo#6 – Let’s go for two here, also – the middle bag and the purple vegetable (I had this one in China, for breakfast one day). | |
 |
 |
|
| Photo#7 – The left veggie looks cucumber with very high ridges and right…well? | Photo#8 – Thilaka said this is somewhat like a potato but it makes a very delicious drink. | |
 |
 |
|
| Photo#9 – I’ve heard you shouldn’t let anyone take this one, cut open on a crowded bus – apparently, it stinks – but it is very tastey! | Photo#10 – Easy points here – each vegetable is only worth half a point! |

OK, your contest has me/us going ….. I THINK photo #2 is bitter melon and #8 is possibly taro. I would love to get full marks and if the e-mail had been accessible on the wknd. AND if I’d remembered; Sean’s Dad, who made a late and unexpected visit to Sean’s b.d. gathering, would surely have been able to identify ALL of these. However, guess I’m at the bottom of the class…..photo #5, upper right is kohlrabi, but you knew this probably and that lumpy thing could be ugly fruit ….. damn, I really wish I could take photos down to Gerrard and get them all for you. So #10 is well, easy peasy, onion, Asian eggplant, cabbage and, possibly those bitter melons again on the bottom. #4, eddoe comes to mind….#6, purple thingey, some kind of sweet potatoe/yam…?’;';””;”’;';’;”;”;”;;””"”"”"

Hey Cathy and Sean,
Thanks for jumping in and taking a stab at some of these! However, I honestly don’t know what they are!! I get my Sri Lankan friends to take a peek and hopefully clear everything up. Until then, I hope you don’t mind waiting for your points and final score – tee hee!!
