When I first tasted peaches, I found the taste really familiar. After a while I exclaimed, "oh, it tastes just like peach tea!"

I mean, it's pretty weird. Any similarity between "peach" the fruit and "peach tea" the drink seemed purely semantical before I ate a peach. Maybe if there is such a thing as peach flavouring, I'll still think of it "peach tea flavouring".

Perhaps, it's like the difference between me and a French guy. When I first drank beer, I thought "Yuck it tastes like herbal tea with gas." When the French guy first drank herbal tea, he said with a frown, "It tastes like beer without gas."

Speaking of French, I was reminded of syphilis. In the 15th century, syphilis was known as "The French Disease" to pretty much everyone in Europe. Except the French. Sound like "French Fries" or "French Toast", doesn't it? Or maybe "Penang Laksa", but that's different because it really came from Penang. The Penang people just call it "Laksa".

Which makes me wonder, do Hong-Kongers call athlete's foot "Hong Kong feet" as well?
