Our challenge is to tell the English name for the foods that I show photos of. These are all fruit and vegetables I photographed in America.
Give me your best guess for the name of the items in each photo. There are 9 photos. #6 has 3 answers. That is a total of 11 answers. See how many you can answer correctly.

Bonus answer: What is the difference between countable and uncountable nouns in quantity? Is the general term "fruit" a countable noun? Example: We ate some fruit after the meal. Why don't we say fruits instead of saying some fruit?

Thank you Nida,
We call the green ones limes and they are very close to a lemon. The inside is also green and not yellow like the lemon with a similar taste but it does taste a little different.
The last melon is called cantaloupe for some reason. It is orange on the inside and has white seeds. Is the Persian melon the same inside. They may be the same thing with different names in different countries. I like to make challenges like this. Maybe you can think of another challenge for us? I am not allowed to take photos in the supermarket here. I think they may be worried that I could get a photo of the women, so I now leave my camera in the car while shopping.
These photos were taken in Texas, but there I was also asked to stop taking photos. There was no reason given except for something about showing the prices. We all know that it is easy to take photos without being seen, but I used a large camera and did not try to hide what i was doing.

Bones Answer: The difference between Countable and uncountable nouns in quantity is that Countable nouns are less in number that's why we can count them, whereas uncountable nouns are so great in number that we can't count them. Fruit is an uncountable noun. I guess, we say some fruit instead of saying fruits because we can't count them.
