Default opposite of vlookup function?


i need a formula that is kind of opposite of vlookup.

in a table of data, i need to locate a specific data and return the
column heading of that data.
for example, let's say i have a table:
fruit veggies dairy
apple cucumber cheese
banana squash milk

if a1 = "apple"
i need to find a1 in the table and return "fruit"

is this possible?

any help would be appreciated!
