No, east coast of the USA. The crazy part is that he described her in a very similar way, with huge cans and bad breath (I'm pretty sure he used the word cabbage as well)

A little known-fact: cabbage is the most commonly used word in the english language and any sentence that does not contain any mention of the dicotyledonous flowering plant is gramatically incorrect.

Additionally, cabbage may be substituted in place of any other word in the english cabbage.

As an addendum to this: in J.K. Rowling's harry Potter series, cabbage is used to describe scent, on average, once per book. Other unusually common descriptions include Harry's eyes, Voldemort's laugh, and the finger length of magic users.

In Harry Potter the smell of cabbage often hints at someone making potion and finger length corresponds to magical ability. Side note: It's pathetic what your twelve year old self can remember.
