Canada's Food Guide recommends that adults get 7-8 servings of
fruit and vegetables per day. Well, tonight's game is dedicated to
helping you get your recommended daily allowance. Presenting the
*fruit & veggies* trivia game!
* Game 7, Round 2 - A Brief History of Fruit
Sure, you eat 5-10 servings a day -- but how well do you know
the story of fruit you're eating? Ten questions on the history
of fruits. In each case, name the fruit.
1. This berry, native to Europe and western Asia, was first
mentioned in the 13th century as a part of Edward I's garden.
By the 19th century it was a popular food item. There is dispute
over the origin of the name, perhaps a corruption of the Dutch
word "kruisbezie" or perhaps simply a nod to the protein it
traditionally accompanied, often as a jam or sauce.
2. This berry -- a cross between a raspberry, blackberry, dewberry,
and loganberry -- was named for its grower. First grown in
California in the 1920s, it reached its peak popularity in the
1950s when Knott's Berry Farm sold jam made of this berry in
roadside stands.
3. Native to Asia, this fruit was introduced into Europe in the
early 19th century and named after the North African port it
came from.
4. Native to Iran where it has been grown for thousands of years,
this fruit made its way to Europe in the Middle Ages and was
mentioned by Shakespeare. Name the popular fruit, whose name
is believed to be a corruption for the old French words for
"seed apple".
5. It's disputed whether this fruit's origins trace back to China
or Armenia, where more than 50 varieties are grown. This fruit
eventually made its way to Persia, and eventually England in
the 16th century. Name the fruit, whose seeds have been used
to produce the now-discredited cancer drug laetrile.
6. Sometimes called an "alligator pear", this fruit was first grown
in Central America. It was introduced in the 19th century
to the United States. Today it is becoming an increasingly
popular due to its healthy fats.
7. In the Middle Ages this fruit was only used as a medicine.
During World War II, the government encouraged people to grow it
as a source of Vitamin C. It is best known today as a cordial
and is featured in a product called Ribena, derived from its
Latin name ribes.
8. This fruit is native to China and was exported to New Zealand
in the early 20th century. American soldiers discovered it when
stationed there during World War II. It was first exported to
California as a "Chinese gooseberry", then growers changed the
name to the one we know today.
9. A hybrid of pomelo and another citrus, this subtropical fruit
was first documented in 1750 by Rev. Griffith Hughes in Barbados.
Until the 19th century, it was known as the shaddock or shattuck
in honor of the captain who brought the pomelo to the Caribbean.
Name the fruit, whose current name alludes to how it grows on
a tree.
10. Indigenous to Brazil and Paraguay, this fruit was encountered
by Columbus in 1493 on the island of Guadeloupe. He took it back
to Europe, where it became a status symbol because of the costly
hothouses which were needed to grow it. Large-scale cultivation
in the US started in 1900s. Name the fruit, which is readily
available fresh or canned.
* Game 7, Round 3 - Arts - Still-Life Paintings
An apple is an apple is an apple. Or maybe not, depending on who
is painting it. Please see the handout it:
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/7-3/still.pdf
For each picture number, we give you the the artist's -- or artists'
-- dates of birth and death, and you identify the artist.
For your convenience I've rearranged the round in order by the
picture numbers. There were two decoys; identify those artists
if you like for fun, but for no points.
1. 1907-54.
2. 1881-1973.
3. 1848-1903.
4. 1839-1906.
5. 1904-89.
6. 1928-87, 1960-88. Name *either* of the collaborating artists.
