Can anyone help with this please. The answer is either a fruit or a vegetable.

'Pound and shilling provided inside for example'

Thanks in advance

[Quizmonkey]

Salsify (L + S + IF inside SAY)

[dzug]

Could also be eggplant. Pound and a shilling is a guinea (g) inside eg for example

[Quizmonkey]

It could NOT be eggplant. For a start, G is not an abbreviation for guinea - and even if it were, it would lead to egg - which is not a fruit or vegetable. Why post things like this when the correct answer is clearly given?

Trust me on this one, Clivetoll!

You are right, quizmonkey. I'd missed the significance of the IF in your explanation when I posted. Realised it almost immediately.

However -- eggplant is another name for aubergine - I accept that my explanation didn't extend to the plant bit. (Cue for argument over whether it's a fruit or vegetable -+) )

I do however have a dictionary that lists g for guinea in its list of abbreviations.
