Quiz September 24, 2001 Cultivated originally by the Romans I am all about myths and legends. The Greeks believed I was an aphrodisiac and I was a symbol of fertility for the Celts. I was brought over by the pilgrims, and Mr. Chapman made me famous in America, but that reality was more for a fermented drink than a nutritious snack. I have thousands of varieties; from Adam’s tongue and Grandma’s pie to papa’s still and “of my eye” I am possibly the most famous of all fruits. I am the family activity of the fall season, as well as being very popular at every holiday from an eating and activity point of view. My skin is often speckled, and I run the gamut of shades from red, brown, green, gold and yellow. My size is most often round and I can range in diameter from 1.5 to over 5 inches. Often eaten out of hand, I can also be dried or cooked in hundreds of ways. You will find me in pies, sauce, stuffing’s, meats, salads, juices and all forms of candies and desserts. You will also find me in toothpaste, shampoo, air fresheners, candles, creams, potpourri, perfumes and lipsticks. I am the symbol of a city, and to some I even represent the beginning of decadence. I am to doctors what garlic is to vampires. I am high in pectin and a good source of fiber while containing limited amounts of vitamin C. Apples |
