seeds?


lobita

Recommended Posts

I recently saw this 'meme' posted on a Mexican restaurant's Facebook page:

En Yucatan no existe la semilla

todo es pepita.

And I am baffled. "In Yucatan there are no (seeds?); everything is (seeds?)."

Other than that pumpkin seeds are called pepitas, I don't really grok the difference between 'semilla' and 'pepita'. And the joke -- I assume it's a joke -- is completely lost on me.

Can someone explain?

I have seen this expression before, and what I THOUGHT it meant was (to paraphrase) that there was a seed (of reform? revolution?) in Yucatan but it was not a real (fertile?) seed that would sprout. That's just a guess, and I am hoping someone who actually KNOWS what this means will respond to your post.

The accompanying photo was one of various kinds of fruit, cut in half, with seeds showing, so I was thinking along more literal lines. That would be interesting, though, if you're right. Raises more questions than it answers!
