It is American, why would you expect it to have any taste?

It is not a food of wrongness as I wouldn't not eat it if it was on my plate .....how many double negative things am I allowed in one sentence ??

Can we not rename it then from it's American name - like Zuccini  ( another that sounds far more promising than it actually is !!! )

We can call it Bland Orange  :thumbsup:

Misleading signs?

"Take your Litter home.  Other people do."

Just tells me I can leave it there, the other people will clear up my mess.

I always found those parking signs which with no return details utterly confusing. Whether that was just to that particular bay  , or section of bays or does that mean the road  ?

The changing rooms in the pool here have a sign instructing me not to enter "when you are wet". The door leads directly into the shower room  rubschin:
