  1. a little correction:

    passionfruit: it's also spelled marquisa.

    date: i think the correct word is korma.

    i always thought sirsak is soursop?

    avocado: the correct word is "alpukat," apokad is an mistranslation from dutch.

    despite all that i said, no one would get confused if we use those words you listed.
