Re: Granny's Quiz Wish Granted
The Golden apple is an element that appears in some countries' legends or fairy tales. Usually, a hero (like Hercules or Prince Charming in Eastern countries legends) has to retrieve the golden apples hidden or stolen by a negative character like a zmeu, dragon or monster. In several non-English languages, the word for "orange" is derived from the phrase "golden apple."


Greek Mythology

The above is why I orignally posted 'Orange'. Taken from Answers.com

Re: Granny's Quiz Wish Granted
That's what I thought too Phylum but my pages on Greek mythology say that the golden apples were symbolic of immortality and ever lasting youth - so they are still actually apples.

Only other one I can think of is Advocado - but that's hardly going to be golden.

You do realise that when you give us the answer you're going to have to explain it as well, don't you?
