Food for thought

Posted on November 6, 2012 by dtw42

Listen to this: "First came the bikini. Then the tankini and the mankini. Now the latest fashion trend from California – beachwear for animals – is already being called the ZOOKINI." Isn't that the American term for a courgette? Thank-you for putting the concept "courgette" in my mind at the same time as "beachwear".
