Oh my... Downloading dependencies on the hospital's network is a sloooowwww draaaagg. It's almost like hospitals aren't suitable for developers!

Joke aside, I'm enjoying my orange while waiting for that download to finish and it occurred to me - an orange - a food that very strongly associates with a hospital in our country! And a mandarine is a fruit that means "Christmas!!!" I believe that's a legacy in post-soviet countries :)

And here's my question. Do you, folks in other countries, also have any foods (preferably something rather ordinary) that have strong similar associations? Not necessarily Christmas or hospitals though :)

(I can guess rutee's association :) )

question

ordinary foods

weird associations.

    I associate apples with youth and vigor. They're the fruits of Iduna.

    If you've ever gone completely exhausted from physical activity and then enjoyed an apple, you know why.

    In Italy, lentils symbolize good fortune, so they are associated with New Year's Eve, but also weddings.

    Also, in the Americas, a pineapple symbolizes hospitality. I have heard once that if you are a guest and the host replaces a pineapple, this means it's time to leave. Not sure if this is really true or ever happens though.

    @electrineer the same one :) It refused to be delivered 2 months ago, so we had to wait until today.

    The baby has already been delivered and probably thrown away :)

    Cloves smell like Christmas.
    Especially with a bit of nutmeg.
    Maybe pineapple too.
