-==Generation==
+Nameable fruits make up {{frac|3|40}} (7.5%) of all comestibles randomly generated on the ground, in general [[shop]]s or as [[death drop]]s. Delicatessens and health food stores can also stock nameable fruit. A hero that dies and leaves a [[bones]] file with any nameable fruits in it will have the names of those fruits preserved.
-If you leave a [[bones]] file with any custom fruit in it, the name will be preserved for the player who finds it; in turn, fruit with names other than what you have chosen can occur in [[bones]] levels that you encounter.

 ===Naming===
-You can use the [[fruit (option)|fruit option]] to change the name of the fruit to almost anything you like. If you change the fruit option with a game in progress, existing fruit will keep their name, while newly generated fruit will use the new name. The name you choose has no impact on gameplay, except that differently-named fruits do not stack. If you want to [[wish]] for a nameable fruit, you must wish for a "fruit" regardless of its current name.

-The game will properly parse phrases such as "slice of pizza", "bowl of gruel", and "leg of ham" and return the appropriate output for relevant messages (e.g., "This tastes like ham juice" when quaffing fruit juice with your fruit being named "leg of ham").
