    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
