You say Pumpkin, I say Reuzenpompoen

I was flipping through Knott's Handbook For Vegetable Growers, 5E and came across a very handy table titled "Names of Common Vegetables in Nine Languages."

Dutch and Swedish tie for best word for "pumpkin:" "reuzenpompoen" and "jattepumpa," respectively. And "watermelon" in French is exactly what you think it would be: "melon d'eau." Yet again French succeeds in making a bulky English world lovely and musical. And if I ever have the need for a hip-hop DJ alter-ego, it will definitely be "DJ Koolraap," which is Dutch for "DJ Rutabaga." HA!!
