Noting that the M&D index of references has not managed to find anything helpful to say about this in the eight years the book has been available for study, I thought I'd better point out here that paradicsom is the Hungarian word for both 'paradise' and (more commonly these days) 'tomato' (the latter comestible used to be called paradicsomalma 'paradise apple' until the mid-19th century).
