Fruit and Vegetables

As I was trying to fall asleep the other night, I started to wonder if I could come up with the name of a fruit or vegetable starting with each letter of the alphabet.

I'm not sure what brought that on. Perhaps I should eat more fruit and vegetables? Maybe it was some sort of subliminal message from my inner conscience.

Here goes:

apple
banana
cherry
d
eggplant (is that a vegetable?)
fig
grape
honeydew
i
j
kiwi
lemon
mango
nectarine
orange
pear
q
radish
squash
tangerine
u
v
watermelon
x
yam
zucchini

I did this list fairly quickly, and I'm obviously missing a few. Any ideas?

d = date

I've tried to do this for kids' English classes. Doesn't quince start with a "q"? That's as far as I got!

u = ugly fruit (yes, that's real)
j = jalepeno pepper

Thanks! We still need i, v, x.

Lew came up with iceberg lettuce for "i"

And with some Googling:
v = velvet bean
x = xigua (which is like a watermelon)

Done!
