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?

There was a time when "pomme" was used to name any 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.
