lobita Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayBearII Posted October 10, 2013 Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobita Posted October 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2013 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
