Curious thing: the kiwi fruit came from China to New Zealand.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 10 points 9 months ago

For that matter where the hell is Old Zealand?

[-] pleb_maximus@feddit.de 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

The Netherlands.

Edit: No, I was thinking of Zeeland. Zealand apparently is the English name for a Danish island.

Edit 2: While getting a pizza I wondered why the hell the English would call a place after a Danish island. So my first comment was correct after all. The Dutch named it after Zeeland.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

Possibly even made friends along the way?

[-] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

Haha, yes. But with that I at least knew that it is on an old British sea fort from WWII. So that can't be the reason for New Zealands name.

[-] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

not with that attitude!

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

I wrote that? Shit. My mistake.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

No, you didn't, but it made me wonder if there's a new one where the old one is. Another person answered.
