This week, on foot of a conversation I had with my sister about the French term for potatoes, I've explored the evolution of the words fruit, apple and potato. From French to Farsi, Russian to Zulu, Spanish to Slovakian, Lithuanian to Italian - and German, Austrian, Irish, Spanish, Swiss, Polish, and Portuguese, no plate has been left empty after harvest season. Dig in and enjoy!
