famous | ˈfeɪməs |
adjective
1 known about by many people: a famous star | the country is famous for its natural beauty.
2 informal excellent: Galway stormed to a famous victory. Various types of pickles are in fact "famous": - Mango pickle (not my favourite Indian pickle; right now that would be garlic pickle and my standby is lime pickle) - New York deli half-sour pickled cucumbers (not a vinegar pickle, but a fermented pickle). - Umeboshi (salt-pickled Japanese plums) - Kimchi (Korean fermented cabbage and vegetables) - Kapusta / Sauerkraut (Ukrainian and German fermented/pickled cabbage, respectively) There are others, but the point has been made. When you consider that "famous" is often used to mean "beloved", your ignorance is showing. |
