Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which soft fruit is used in the liqueur Cassis?

Answer: Blackcurrant

Blackcurrants are a great source of vitamin C. As well as their role in flavouring Cassis, they are used in pies, jams, preserves and a great fruit drink.
They grow very easily but picking them is a nightmare as they squash so easily in your hands/fingers.
2. Which of the following words is the more common name for a tree tomato?

Answer: Tamarillo

A tamarillo is shaped like an egg and has a hard skin. It can be eaten raw or used as a garnish. It is among the many, many foods introduced to Europe as a result of 16th. century explorers.
3. The fruit of the hawthorn tree is more commonly known by which of these names?

Answer: Haw

The hawthorn tree has been around for a very long time. In Rome it was a symbol of love /marriage. In Egypt haws were used as a cure for heart problems. In Ireland long ago, the hawthorn was believed to have magical powers. The fruit is very tasty, much like an apple,and can be eaten raw or cooked in a pie.
4. Which fruit, from which we get the word marmalade, is called marmelo in Portuguese?

Answer: Quince

The fruit looks like either an apple or a pear, but is very bitter to taste. When softened it is very tasty in pies, puddings and jams. In Spain it is used as an accompaniment to some cheeses.
5. Which fruit, very rich in vitamin C, was collected by children in Britain as a substitute for oranges during WW2?

Answer: Hips

Rose hips, especially from the dog rose, were collected as oranges could not be imported. They are bigger than a haw and quite easy to pick as they grow well away from thorns. Rose hip juice can still be bought as a fruit drink. It is pink and heavenly refreshing with a soothing aroma.
6. Is a persimmon a fruit?

Answer: Yes

The word comes from the Algonquin language of Native Americans. The fruit is also called a date plum. It is high in glucose and protein. There are two forms; i) is an astringent which cannot be eaten until the tannins have been removed. This is done in a process called bletting. ii)Non-astringent forms can be eaten.

It tastes very like a pumpkin pie (according to Wikipedia. I have never seen the fruit).
7. Which of the following is DEFINITELY NOT a plum?

Answer: Kumquat

Plums are very versatile fruits which can be eaten raw, cooked, in pies, jams, sauces, preserves and baking. Greengages are regarded by many, (moi included), as the finest dessert plum. They are oval with a smooth textured flesh and range in colour from yellow to green.
A satsuma can be an orange or a variety of plum.
8. Winesap, Starking, Katy, and Sturmer Pippin are all varieties of which common fruit?

Answer: Apple

These are varieties of eating apples. The smallest is the winesap which is an oval red apple with, as its name implies a sweet juice. Due to mass marketing many of these varieties are fast disappearing, more's the pity.
9. Can Yuzu fruit be eaten?

Answer: Yes

These are originally from Asia and are like a grapefruit in size. They can be eaten but rarely are although sometimes they are used as a garnish. In Japan, at the Winter Solstice, several fruits are wrapped in a cheesecloth and floated in a bath to help relaxation.
10. What fruit is added to black teas to give Earl Grey tea its distinctive flavour?

Answer: Bergamot orange

Bergamot orange oil gives this tea its distinctive flavour and aroma.
The tea is supposed to be named for Charles Grey (1764-1845) a British statesman and Prime Minister.
