| 词汇 | eve-s date |
| 词源 | Eve’s date. Since we have mentioned adam’s apple, it’s only fair to devote a few lines to Eve’s date (Yucca baccata). Found in Mexico and the southwestern United States, this little-known fruit can be eaten out of hand. The dark-purple Eve’s date prob- ably takes its name from its shape, like a stubby banana; it is tempting and sweet in taste but leaves a slight bitterness in the mouth. |
