    After being totally stuck on U, I googled it and found a few things... but none that I've ever heard of.

    ... so at least I affirmed that I did indeed check every drawer and folder in my brain's file room.

    Dang! I can't think of anything for "V" either!

    I'd better step aside to see if someone can give us a U or V.

    Wondergirl?
    Bueller?
    Anyone?

    I would like to see if anyone can get a U and V. I admit that I had to Google the U as well.

    That's right. I remember having it in Jamaica. I'd forgotten until you asked - but I think it's ugli.

    I've heard that vanilla is a fruit, but I'm not sure.

    Ok, I've cheated because I'd like to know:

    1. The "Ugly fruit" is legit. It is Ugli, not Ugly.
    2. Googling about Vanilla is interesting. Some call it a fruit and some call it a legume. I have yet to find the "right" answer.

    If any of you can find a source that confirms what Vanilla (or Vanilla Bean) is (fruit, vegetable or legume) I'd love to know... so that I can get it right when I get on Jeopardy :)

    Watermelon - Watercress

    ... I'm stumped on X.

    From About.com...

    Vanilla Beans
    Vanilla is the fruit of an orchid plant, which grows in the form of a bean pod. Although there are over 110 varieties of vanilla orchids, only one, Vanilla planifolia, produces the fruit which gives us 99 percent of commercial vanilla. Another genus, the Vanilla tahitensis grown in Tahiti, does produce fruit with a more pronounced aroma, but debatedly less flavor.
