animal parts they love most to eat,” Dan now feeling the feelings of 

Juggernaut. 

“Hear the names given to various cuts of a pig at a fancy well 

known pork pit; Boston Butt, Loins, Ham, Picnic Shoulder, Spare Ribs 

and Bacon for pig belly fat.” “Where is the justice and fairness in 

naming names of veggies and fruits particularly from tropics and my 

gripe was the people who were responsible for this grotesque task of 

ill-naming were neither born or raised in the tropics,” Juggernaut 

jumped from his chair and started pacing with high steps as if he was 

walking over imaginary hurdles with his coffee mug filled with wine 

with strong odor made from stinky fruits. 

“Your anger and outrage was totally justified.” Dan was 

sympathetic. 

“Listen to the fancy names given to chicken parts at all you 

can eat chicken place; Drum Sticks, Buffalo wings and White meat.” “I 

smell a serious conspiracy here against plant kingdom and vegetarians 

in general.” 

“What can we do now for centuries of injustice?” 

“Well, we can always bring a class action lawsuit, the American 

way.” 

“Against whom?” 

“It is up to the lawyers to find out  to see fairness is 

imposed and bring the culprits to justice that planted serious 

conspiracy to slander some veggies and fruits with funny and derogatory 

names despite their nutritional, medicinal and other values and in the 

process make fun of vegetarians worldwide,” Juggernaut was pleading 

loudly. 

“Well, that sounds good but at personal level what you are 

doing to erase the tarnished image of some veggies and fruits?” 

“Well, for starters I renamed Snake gourd as Chi-Chi, Ash gourd 

as Ko-Mo, Bitter gourd as Mo-Mo, Coyote Squash as Cho-Cho, funny 

smelling Devils Dung was renamed as Angel Dust, Banana flower is now 

Hang-Loose flower and stinky Jack fruit now sold as Sweet Heaven; these 

given  names are more in harmony with their native habitat and 

culture.  I am doing my part to bring justice to these plants that 

emerged on the earth well before we were evolved, it will take a long 

time to change well established  expressions how derogatory it may 

sound but how long one man's  crusade can take to bring a sea of change 

in plant nomenclature ?” pondered Juggernaut loudly. Dan did not reply 

knowing it was a rhetorical question. 

“In my opinion the only meat dishes appropriately named without 

vanity or fanfare were Jerk Chicken and Jerk Pork cooked on the 

curbside Jamaican style,” Juggernaut rested his case.
