Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. According to European tradition, this fruit is cut in half horizontally at the Christmas table. If the seeds form a perfect star, the year will be a good one.

Answer: Apple

This tradition exists in Germany and Czechoslovakia, among other countries.
2. In the Biblical story of Joseph and his brothers, Joseph is thrown into prison with two of Pharaoh's servants- a butler and a baker. They tell Joseph of strange dreams that they have had and he interprets their meaning. What fruit figures in the butler's dream?

Answer: Grapes

According to the butler, he dreamed that a vine was before him which suddenly blossomed and bore grapes. He found himself holding Pharaoh's cup; he took some of the grapes and crushed them to wine in the cup. Joseph interpreted the dream (correctly) to mean that the butler would be restored to favor and resume his former position (the baker was less fortunate).
3. The Chiquita brand of these tropical fruits were once hawked on American television by a Carmen Miranda-esque character who cautioned that they should NEVER be put in the refrigerator and that they tasted the best "when they are flecked with brown and have a golden hue".

Answer: Bananas

The second verse of Chiquita Banana's famous jingle went "I'm Chiquita Banana, and I'm here to say- bananas have to ripen in a certain way! When they are flecked with brown and have a golden hue, bananas taste the best and are the best for you!"
4. In the movie "The Sound of Music", what types of berries did the von Trapp children alternately claim they were out gathering when, in fact, they had tried to visit Maria at the convent?

Answer: Blueberries and strawberries

At first they claim they were picking blueberries. When their father points out that it's too early for blueberries, they change their story and claim that they were strawberries. Friedrich (very unconvincingly) explains that it was so cold that the strawberries had turned blue.
5. To propagate this type of fruit, cut off the leafy top and set it in soil; it will root and a new plant will sprout through the leaves.

Answer: Pineapple

Did you know that pineapple fruits are berries? The pineapple has long been a symbol of welcome and generosity.
6. This type of fruit is often used to make a pie, but not in its natural state. It is made into a pudding first, then covered with a fluffy white topping before being baked.

Answer: Lemon

Lemon-meringue pie, of course. You can make key lime pie the same way, only with limes.
7. This type of fruit tree features in a well-known Christmas song, along with a bird.

Answer: Pear

"And a partridge in a pear tree".
8. This popular summer fruit now comes in seedless varieties, can be round instead of oval, and can have yellow, instead of the more usual pink or red flesh.

Answer: Watermelon

The flavor of the yellow, pink, and red fleshed varieties are the same. The round varieties are smaller than the traditional oval ones, which is more convenient for people with smaller refrigerator space.
9. A traditional English pudding and cake are named for this fruit, although they don't contain any. They do contain raisins, however, which used to be known by the same name as this fruit. A nursery rhyme character finds one in his pie. Which is it?

Answer: Plum

Plum pudding and plum cake contain lots of raisins which, in England, were known as "plums" (or "Plumbs"). Little Jack Horner's plum was actually a raisin (mincemeat pies were, and are, traditionally served at Christmas in England).
10. Which of the following candy ingredients comes from a fruit?

Answer: Chocolate (cocoa)

Cocoa powder comes from the fruit of the cocoa tree. It is very bitter in its natural state, before sugar, vanilla, and cocoa butter are added. (Licorice extract comes from a root, sugar comes from sugar-cane, and honey, of course, comes from bees.
11. According to Clement C. Moore's poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas", St. Nick's nose was like this fruit.

Answer: Cherry

"His eyes, how they twinkled! His dimples, how merry! His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry."
12. This fruit appears on the Georgia state quarter, appropriately enough.

Answer: Peach

Peaches are the state fruit of Georgia, where they are used to make pies and "peach honey", which is served on biscuits.
13. Clementine, Mineola, and Temple are varieties of this fruit.

Answer: Orange

These are all seedless, or nearly seedless, and very sweet. Mineolas have a distinguishing bump on the top.
14. This citrus fruit comes in white, pink, and red varieties. A special knife and spoon are made to cut and eat it with.

Answer: Grapefruit

Grapefruit knives are curved so that you can cut around the inside of the skin. Grapefruit spoons have a serrated tip to make it easier to scoop out the flesh without squirting yourself.
15. A peach-like fruit, but without any "fuzz", is called this.

Answer: Nectarine

A good nectarine contains lots of "nectar", or juice, hence the name.
