I will write my diary from today. The theme is "casually spoken English" from our everyday conversations.

Today on the way home from work I phoned home and met my hudsband to go to a fried pork restaurant. There the wife of the restaurant owner gave us some persimons from her parents' garden. She said,"Is there persimons in England?" My hudsband said he occasionally saw persiomons in the exotic fruit section in supermarkets.

She said she had seen persiomns in Viena sold and called "Kaki" like Japanese call them. She claimed from the experience that persiomons were only produced in Japn. I suppose the fruit was brought to England from some British oriental colony long time ago and the word "persiomon" may have been used since then.

I remember at a village in the southern end of Spain, I had a piece of fried pork my Spanish friend's grandmother cooked for me and her which was just like the one I had today at the restaurant in my neigborhood. Is there anybody who knows when fried pork was brought to Japan?
