Re: Ice Cream or Namwa?
basically that's what I assumed. For Bluggoe & Orinoco as being synonymous may or may not be technically correct, but many nana-heads assume they are. Which again points out the problem of nana...

Re: Ice Cream or Namwa?
It's important to note that Orinoco is only in the blogge subgroup. And each listed accession is only different material collected from different locations. They could be the same they could be...

Re: Ice Cream or Namwa?
I know what you mean, but being happy with being cheated or lied to still doesn't make it right.
If you go out to dinner and order chicken and they give you steak, you might like that more, but it's...

Re: Ice Cream or Namwa?
I have both the "fake" 'Ice Cream', sourced as a tissue cultured plant, and the "real" 'Ice Cream', reliably sourced as a sucker.

Re: Ice Cream or Namwa?
Personally I find it deplorable. The selling of the wrong variety, knowingly, simply because 90% will never know and 90% of the rest won't complain. It REALLY irritates me that they lie and cheat...
