To solve this "Food I Spy" puzzle, we need to carefully count each specific food item hidden in the big picture. Let's go through them one by one.
1. Apple
Let's look for the round fruit with a small stem and leaf.
- There is one in the 4th row from the top, on the left side.
- There is another one right below it in the 5th row.
- There is one in the middle-right area (6th row).
- There is one near the bottom right corner.
- There is one in the very bottom right corner.
*Count: 5 apples.*
2. Watermelon Slice
These are the semi-circle slices with seeds.
- Top row: 2 slices.
- Second row: 2 slices.
- Third row: 1 slice.
- Fourth row: 1 slice.
- Fifth row: 1 slice.
- Sixth row: 1 slice.
- Seventh row: 1 slice.
- Eighth row: 1 slice.
- Bottom rows: 3 slices scattered near the bottom.
Let's recount carefully:
1. Top row, 2nd from left.
2. Top row, middle-right.
3. Row 2, 4th from left.
4. Row 2, middle.
5. Row 3, 2nd from left.

11. Bottom area, left side.
12. Bottom area, middle-left.
13. Bottom area, right side.
*Count: 13 watermelon slices.*
3. Broccoli
These look like little trees.
- Row 2: 1 broccoli (left side).
- Row 3: 1 broccoli (middle-left), 1 broccoli (middle-right).
- Row 5: 1 broccoli (left), 1 broccoli (middle).
- Row 6: 1 broccoli (middle-left), 1 broccoli (middle-right).
- Row 9: 1 broccoli (left).
- Row 10: 1 broccoli (middle-left).
- Bottom row: 1 broccoli (middle-left), 1 broccoli (middle-right).
Let's list them clearly:
1. Row 2, col 3.
2. Row 3, col 3.
3. Row 3, col 6.
4. Row 5, col 1.
5. Row 5, col 4.
6. Row 6, col 3.
7. Row 6, col 5.
8. Row 9, col 3.
9. Row 10, col 3.
10. Row 11 (bottomish), col 3.
11. Row 11 (bottomish), col 7.
Wait, let me re-scan the whole grid systematically.
- R2C3: Broccoli
- R3C3: Broccoli
- R3C6: Broccoli
- R5C1: Broccoli
- R5C4: Broccoli
- R6C3: Broccoli
- R6C5: Broccoli
- R9C3: Broccoli
- R10C3: Broccoli
- R11C3: Broccoli
- R11C7: Broccoli
*Count: 11 broccolis.*
4. Lollipop
These are circles on a stick.
- R2C2: Lollipop
- R3C5: Lollipop
- R4C8: Lollipop
- R4C9: Lollipop
- R5C1: Lollipop
- R5C8: Lollipop
- R6C4: Lollipop
- R7C2: Lollipop
- R7C5: Lollipop
- R7C7: Lollipop
- R8C1: Lollipop
- R8C3: Lollipop
- R10C6: Lollipop
- R11C5: Lollipop
- R11C7: Wait, that was broccoli. Let's check R11 again. R11C6 is a lollipop? No, R11C6 is a cupcake. R11C7 is broccoli. R10C6 is a lollipop.
Let's restart the lollipop count carefully.
1. Row 2, between donut and grapes.
2. Row 3, between grapes and broccoli.
3. Row 4, right side (two next to each other? No, one is pizza, one is lollipop). Actually, looking at Row 4, there is a lollipop at the far right. And another one next to the pizza? No, that's a cherry. Let's look closer. Row 4 has a lollipop at the end.
4. Row 5, far left.
5. Row 5, right side (next to apple).
6. Row 6, middle (next to grapes).
7. Row 7, left side (next to cheese).
8. Row 7, middle (next to donut).
9. Row 7, right side (next to apple).
10. Row 8, far left.
11. Row 8, middle-left (next to donut).
12. Row 10, middle-right (next to apple).
13. Row 11, middle (next to carrot).
Let's verify.
- R2: 1
- R3: 1
- R4: 1 (far right)
- R5: 2 (far left, and right of center)
- R6: 1 (center)
- R7: 3 (left, center, right)
- R8: 2 (left, center-left)
- R9: 0
- R10: 1 (right of center)
- R11: 1 (center)
Total: 1 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 0 + 1 + 1 = 13? Let me re-check Row 4. Row 4 ends with a lollipop. Is there another? No.
Let me re-check Row 7. Left: Lollipop. Center: Lollipop. Right: Lollipop. Yes, 3.
Let me re-check Row 8. Left: Lollipop. Next to it is a carrot. Then a donut. Then a lollipop. Yes, 2.
Let me re-check Row 10. Apple, then lollipop. Yes, 1.
Let me re-check Row 11. Carrot, then lollipop. Yes, 1.
So: 1+1+1+2+1+3+2+1+1 = 13.
