Puzzles about everyday eating and drinking: breakfast and cereal, snacks, fruit and vegetables, drinks and coffee, fast food, cheese and dairy, nuts and seeds, beans and a list of favorite foods, with apples, mushrooms and hot cocoa visiting from their own collections. Cooking, baking, food safety and nutrition have a collection of their own.

The line between a fruit and a vegetable is less settled than the lists suggest. A botanist counts the tomato as a fruit because it grows from the flower and holds the seeds, but in 1893 the United States Supreme Court ruled it a vegetable for import taxes, since that is how people cook and eat it.
