Andy Rooney Shares Some Nutritional Advice

[shanz3]

Tonight Andy Rooney talked about fruits in his segment and said "What in the world is a pluot?" I am sure several viewers already know the answer, however, for those of you who asked the same question as Mr. Rooney did - a pluot is a hybrid between a plum and an apricot. A pluot resembles a plum and is noted for its intense flavor and sweetness.

Hello Andy and Readers...Tonight on Mr. Rooney''s segment, he said that blueberries and huckleberries were the same thing. I''m sure this is a common misconception; however, they are not the same thing at all. As Mr. Rooney said, huckleberries do grow high up in the mountains, especially in Montana, my home-state. They are tangy and tart, and more purple than blueberries. They are harder to find, more difficult to grow, but worth all of the bug-bites and bear tracks, especially when it comes to the annual huckleberry festival in the Flathead Lake town of Bigfork, Montana!
