Hi guys, would appreciate opinions on this weeks "nothing for a pair" please.

Fruit or veg

Avocado
Kumquat
Aubergine
Romanesco
Samphire
Mangosteen
Okra
Lychee
Quince
Butternut squash
Durian

And we have 6 fruits and 6 veg

I've matched them using google but end up with 8 fruit and 2 veg

Please help :rotfl:

I just classified Romanesco and samphire as veggies as there are no seeds involved so not fruit

still no idea how to pair them though

That's what my list looked like apart from the "used as a veg". Think we'll go with that :rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks guys, I'll just put the answer as fruit and link to this thread. Wish they'd make these things easier :rotfl:

really can't believe the BBC nowadays for anything :rotfl:

a fruit is the part of the plant containing the seeds and there are seeds in the okra we eat
