Fruit
The first known written reference to fruit is in the Bible when Eve convinced Adam to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. Since then, people have been eating fruit that has been grown in the wild, purchased from grocery stores, or planted in gardens and in groves. Oranges and apricots were grown in China more than 400 years ago. Each country, all over the world has fruit that is grown specifically to that region.http://www.allaboutcreation.org/adam-and-eve.htmhttp://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/fruit&veg.htm
Fruits and vegetables have been growing in the wild for many centuries. When people first began to eat fruit as food, they simply gathered their choices from the wild. For thousands of years, fruit was picked, gathered and eaten in this manner. About 11,000 years ago, people began to plant their own fruit to grow their own plants and use them as a part of their daily diet. The farmers experimented by mixing seeds and this produced new varieties of wild fruits to be enjoyed.http://www.kidcyber.com.au/topics/fruit&veg.htm
Many years ago, fruit that was found growing in one region of the world was taken by the early explorers and traders to other regions.

Today, fruit is shipped and flown all over the ...

Ideas for Finger Buffet Food
A finger food buffet consists of a variety of edible choices laid out on a table, where guests can choose to fill their plate with whatever they like. A buffet is a traditional way to feed a large number of people where sitting at a table or serving individual dishes is not feasible. In a situation where a lot of people are standing to eat, such as a cocktail party, finger foods make it easier for guests to eat. Some finger foods do not require people to use utensils to cut or eat the food, so guests can easily eat from a plate with their hands while standing or sitting.
Finger buffet food can be purchased from a grocer's freezer or made from scratch. It can be cold, warm, or any temperature in between. Incorporating a theme into a finger food buffet may be suitable for the right event. Vegetarian, seafood, or Mexican themed buffets may provide many options for finger type items which compliment an occasion. Simple options may require dips while more complex foods may stand alone. Some food, like sandwiches, may be prepared then cut into smaller pieces in order to emulate finger food.http://www.allegriafinefoods.com.au/buffet.htm
A finger food buffet has a wide variety of foods to please many palates. Some ideas for finger buffet food include a variety of hard and soft cheeses which can be paired with crackers, fruit, or breads, hot and cold meats consisting of pepperoni, meatballs ...
