If you have eaten a banana since 1950 or so it was most likely a Cavendish. The Gros Michel, or Big Mike, was the dominant variety beforehand, but a fungal blight made it difficult to continue growing them in significant numbers.

Vegetable isn't just a scientific term. It's also a culinary term, which has a different meaning. In the culinary world, many consider mushrooms to fall into the vegetable category even though they're a fungus.

those stupid yellow bananas everyone loves so much (I gag at teh smell of them and haven't eaten one in years) are called Cavendish because that was the guys name that created teh hybrid banana trees to make them sweeter and more yellow..most bananas are actually brown and not sweet and some need to be cooked to be eaten.

Gros Michel bananas are now extinct. They died off around a 100 years ago due to a strain of virus or something in Panama. It is said that Gros Michels were way more tasty than the Cavandish bananas we eat today.

Yep, and Cavandish Bananas are next. As with all modern varieties of bananas, they only reproduce by cloning, so they are very susceptible to disease. Panama Disease fungus is probably going to catch up with Cavendish soon.

brainchild - Actually, it's not! The Gros Michel is still being grown, mostly in Malaysia and Thailand (places that remain uninfected by Panama Disease) and are primarily shipped to relatively nearby countries like China and Japan. It's just that pretty much all of Central and South America and the Caribbean ARE infected with the disease, and so the Big Mike can't be grown there anymore and places like the US and Europe have to rely on the Cavendish, which is more resistant to the fungus (for now...)

Funny how this can be very American as well. We have different varieties on potatoes and grapes at least. Never heard of the lemon or cherry varieties nor of a vidalia onion. (Now some European is gonna tell me it's all very common in here some place.. :) )

The Vidalia onion is actually named after Vidalia, Georgia, in the United States. If you see an onion with that name, you can be sure it was grown there.

Agree. Vidalia is not a variety. The variety is usually yellow granex (which, ironically, is a cross between the Texas 1015 and Bermuda varieties.) I grow yellow granex onions in my garden but I can't call them Vidalias because I don't live in that region of Georgia. It's like the Hatch Chile Peppers. I grow Anaheim chile peppers, but in order to call them Hatch Chiles they must be grown in the Hatch River Valley of New Mexico, regardless of the variety.

Yellow is not an onion variety, either. It's a color. I got the answers, I'm just saying it would be more correct to list varieties such as Brown Spanish, Walla Walla, Red Creole, etc.

Gros Michel bananas are now considered "commercially unviable" due to a fungus that attacks the tree, though they are grown on a limited basis where the fungus isn't found. Cavendish bananas could also be wiped out, on a commercial basis, by another fungus that attacks that cultivar.

Got all of them right for the first time, although I had to guess to get lemon. The only reason I knew avocado this time is that I recently moved to California and my neighbors have an avocado tree (and a lemon and a persimmon). Not too many avocados growing back in Kansas.

In non-English speaking countries, squashes are considered pumpkins. At least here in Germany, there is no distincion between the two. So it would be great if you could accept "pumpkin" as a type-in for that one.

They are all in the same family - genus cucurbita. In the US we have summer squash, winter squash, and pumpkin, but all are types of squash. Summer squash includes patty pan, yellow crookneck and zucchini (courgette), winter squash includes butternut, acorn, and Hubbard, and pumpkin includes Long Island Cheese and Connecticut Field. So actually, pumpkins should be considered squash, not the other way around.

Instead of repeating two categories why not include two different fruits or veggies? For example, fava and lima beans, or black beauty and white egg eggplants. Or perhaps Napa and savoy cabbage or greengage and damson plums?
