Just a thought  maybe the way the seeds are hidden in arches reminded someone way back then, of a new fancy bell tower, with all kinds of arches to hang the bells.  I am having a hard time to come up with a different fruit that has its core Reverend to as a “klokhuis” in Dutch.

Seems to be from "bell housing": but how did that come to mean "core"? (Don't think it does mean "apple core" so much as just core). Am curious about the etymology of klokhuis.

The witty and slightly absurd sketches and songs, written by some off Holland's top-notch talent, are an added bonus. Too bad for most of you it's all in Dutch. I think many Boing Boing readers would enjoy it.
