  3. Very well done, Rex!! I got 7, but if my memory was better I probably would have gotten 9 or 10. I have had to have so much education about nutrition because of my health problems, including diabetes, cardiac rehab, and low magnesium! LOL

    • Yep, aubergine/eggplant and courgette/zucchini can cause a little confusion, depending on where a person is. Of course, the same thing could be said of both Brit and Yank names, to Asians or others. Thus, people from various parts of the world might know exactly what benne, ajonjolí, bijan, goma, ngaa, kkae, kunzhut, linga, and vung are, but we might have difficulty unless we hear ‘sesame seeds’.
