    Italians need to realize that they don’t own the concept of putting toppings on a round piece of bread. And tomatoes aren’t even native to Italy so that throws a wrench into their ability to complain.

          Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.

            I don’t particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.

            That’s interesting.

            It’s like how peanuts are legumes and not nuts. But I feel like that makes sense because of the pods.

              Yeah and they grow in the ground too.

              A distinction that I find more entertaining than the fruit/veggie one is the berry category.

              • blueberry: not a berry
              • blackberry: nuh-uh
              • Strawberry: you’re an accessory fruit
              • banana: yup, totally a berry
              • watermelon: go for it

              That’s nuts
