Section 1: Fruit: Items 1-113

Please note that I have linked as many of the 1001 to links on the web, such as wikipedia (those that have links are underlined). I have also indicated in italics and bold, the ones that I have tried. I anticipate over the course of the year, writing about each ingredient, but for the purpose of these lists, I felt that a general list was probably the best.

38/114 is worse than I thought I would do on one of the easier sections of the book. Fruit seems like a relatively easy section to do well on. I was quite surprised at how specific the selection of ingredients was. For instance the Cantaloupe melon, #82 and #83 are listed as Charentais Melon and Shizuoka Melon. Have I eaten and enjoyed Cantaloupe Melon? Yes, it's one of my favourites, but I am just not sure if it is the Charentais Melon that I have enjoyed. I also have noticed that some of these I am really excited to try, especially the Honey Jack. Can't wait.

So how did you do? I know others that have published these types of lists on other blogs, they have had people copy and bold their own in the comments section. Whatever works. Even a count of how many you have tried would be interesting. Also, have you found links to any of the ones that I didn't find on wikipedia? I'd love to have them so I could link them in.

Thanks and happy tasting.
