Cucurbita ficifolia






Or, in simple English: Sharks Fin Melon. Or in Mandarin: Yu Chi Gua.

Sharing some pictures from another blogger. This is Sharks Fin Melon salad and Sharks Fin Melon with Wolf Berries soup. According to the blogger: "Shark Fin activists should use this as the ideal substitute for actual Sharks Fin Soup as it makes a more gentle and persuasive alternative for food lovers than the usual shock tactics (which simply does not work on us)."

So, next time you think of Sharks Fins soup, think Yu Chi Gua.
