It's been 30 years and I still can't get over the fact that the French word for "potatoes" is "ground apples." Have The French never had an apple?

Now we just use fruit.

Unless, incident, you're talking of a Chinese Grapefruit, also know as Pomelo.

I didn't know that. Still a little odd to consider a potato "fruit," but then avocados and tomatoes are considered vegetables, when one's a berry and the other's a fruit.
