Re: [GWL]: Usage and terminology

Sheri:

I'd love to hear the answer to the first question
about recipe quoting.  I don't have the answer.

I did some research on the "banana pup" question,
though.  Although I could find no TECHNICAL reference
to the phrase "Banana pup", there were quite a few LAY
references using that phrase.  No where could I find
the combination "banana pip".

"Pip", by the way, is a term used for a few plants...

The American Heritage Dictionary offers this:
3. A rootstock of certain flowering plants, especially
the lily of the valley. 4. Any of the small segments
that make up the surface of a pineapple.

The "pip" of the lily-of-the-valley (Convallaria) has
been described as "rootstock" or "rhizome", almost
always preceded by "upright".

I'm hoping someone else offers a technical bit on the
banana, be it "pup" or "pip".
