The pecan (Carya illinoinensis) is a species of hickory native to the southern United States. "Pecan" is from an Algonquin word, variously referring to pecans, walnuts, and hickory nuts. If you want to call us out for a mistake, fair enough - but do double check before you do so.
@@carolesquizzes I have a mature hickory tree in my front yard. Down the street are some pecan trees. How do I know? Because they drop pecans. My hickory tree drops very different nuts. If hickory trees produce pecans, then why are there pecan trees?
@@TedInATL A pecan is a fruit of the Hickory genus, Carya. I'm not trying to be antagonistic but I did double check this answer - I do see your reasoning, though.
@@carolesquizzes It's a lousy question. If it had been asked in, say, a pub quiz and I answered hickory nut (Google that term, they're different than pecans.) would you judge me wrong?
@@TedInATL I just offered you an olive branch and you decided to throw it away. Yes, I would judge you wrong because - and listen closely, now - you are actually and factually - wrong. This isn't a discussion anymore, this is just you being an ass for the sake of not wanting to be proved incorrect. I gave you the genus and the family name, I gave you the dictionary definition and I gave you an opportunity to leave it and not appear an ass. But here we are ❤ It's also a very WEIRD argument to get into... I'll give you another olive branch - I promise not to ever put any questions about hickory or pecans in any future quizzes. How about that?
We hope you like this new Food & Drink quiz - it took quite a while to put together! ❤
Last clue: Black Forest Gâteau
Nice = ! I failed with most of questions
Most? So you got some right, though - that's good 😃
Hickory trees DO NOT produce pecans. They produce hickory nuts. Pecan trees produce pecans. What the hell?
