Hi ! This is a pretty long list, I'm impressed ! I have to say that I didn't know some of them. First, "la lime", it's a kind of green lemon, but we don't really use this in every-day speaking. "Une lime" means a nail file, we rarely use it for lime. Le cantaloup, I had to google it. If you want this precise type of melon you should use this word but in common langage, I never heard it. There are some really rare words, I mean I know them but I rarely use them (may be because we rarely eat them .. Or they are difficult to find in France so, we don't use them so much) like cranberry, canneberge, atoca, plaquemine... If you want more, I'm thinking of "le brugnon". It looks like "une pêche" but the peel is not soft like a peach it's more smooth. You can find them at the same period as the peach. Some people prefers them, but I think there is not a lot of difference, you have to taste ! There is also "une amande" / l'amande -fem- for almond, "le cassis" for blackcurrant, it's a black berry, "la groseille" for redcurrant (it's the same as cassis but red in fact). I will give you one last because I love it, it's "la mirabelle", it's a plum - une prune - but it's yellow and you find it a lot in the north of France. I think it's more a kind of fruit than a fruit but this word is used a lot in some regions of France. I hope this answer will help you and my English was not too bad ;) I will let other people compleate my answer because, depending on the regions, we have specific fruits, and we don't use the same words. I can't pretend that I know every fruit from every region of France, it's complicated ! Have a good day ! ;) Aurélie
