Default More berries

On the other hand an apple a day keeps the doctor away.
What kind of fruits were apples again?
Oh yes, they were apples-in-French. BRBR

Apples, pears, and quinces are pomes, at least in English. The definition is a
fleshy fruit with the seeds arranged inside a stiff compartment with a
technical name I don't remember. The French word for apple is pomme, with two
m's.
