Isn't vegetable a colloquial term anyway? If it's a plant that people eat on a savoury basis then it's most likely a vegetable.

>>141377537
Don't forget cucumbers

Only fruits call a tomato a vegetable.

>>141377567
Vegetable is a culinary term rather than a biological term. Basically, cooks decide what is a vegetable.

>>141377549
No, they're not. A tomato is a pod of nutrition and seeds that is grown for the purpose of reproduction and is disconnected from the main body of the plant when it is ripe. It is a fruit.

>>141377567
No. A vegetable is an edible plant. And by edible plant, I mean that the body of the plant is the part which is good for us to eat. A carrot is a vegetable because the carrot is the body of the plant, from which the roots grow out and the leaves grow up.

>>141377651
When you're preparing a bell pepper to be cooked, what is it that you remove from the bell pepper because you don't want to eat it?

The answer is seeds, because it's a fruit.

What idiot thought an avocado was a vegetable?

>>141377688
That is a rather imprecise definition of a vegetable. It includes anything from flowers to leaves, bulbs, tubers, roots, etc. It's also not really an equivalent definition to that of fruit; you've defined fruit by its function and vegetables as "every part of any plant that's not a fruit," basically.

Is this Hanagai?

>>141378258
Roots, leaves, etc. are not the carrot. We're talking about the body of the plant here, not everything that grows off it.

>>141378357
So is an artichoke not a vegetable because the part we eat is the flower of the artichoke and not the part that the flower grows out of? Do you have a more precise botanical definition of the "body" of the plant? For non-tubers, does this mean that only the stem counts asa vegetable? After all, the roots grow under it and the leaves from it.

My point is basically this: everyone who gets hoity-toity pointing out that a tomato is a fruit and not a vegetable is not just being pedantic, they are being wrong. They have to think thag vegetable is a botanic term that does not include fruits, which tends to either group togethers totally dissimilar plant structures (roots with flowers, leaves with tubers, etc.) Or be so specific that it would be better described by the actual botanical term.

One might use the term vegetable in such a way that describes all plant matter e.g. "vegetation", which in fact would include fruits. Or one might accept that when people are talking about vegetables as food, they are using an imprecise, accultured, culinary term that includes some fruits but not others based on their use in cooking and eating.

How's that saying go? "It takes intelligence to know a tomato is a fruit, and wisdom not to put it in fruit salad."

>>141377549
When it comes to culinary all fruits are considered vegetables. So refering to a tomato in the kitchen as a vegetable isn't wrong.

When it comes to botany on the other hand tomatoes and bell peppers are fruit, beans and peanuts are legumes, bananas are berries and strawberries are just a prolonged stem.

>>141377081
you know what you and tomatoes have in common?

you're both fruits

technically almost all vegetables are fruits, since the thing which happens after a flower or a plant buds is also called a fruit

ESL, b-be gentle

>>141382483
Nope! Culinary non sweet fruits are often considered vegetables, but things like apples or oranges are not.
The culinary definitions are retarded anyway, so you should refrain from using them.

>>141382655
Not that guy but vegetable isn't a biological term. It's a cooking term.

Imagine being in a situation in which you would eat an apple, which is definately a fruit. You could switch the apple for a banana or kiwi, say, and it would still make sense.
You could definately not switch it for a tomatoe, the situation would be weird as well. Girls would probably be laughing at you and all that.

This means tomatoes are vegetables.

>>141377044

>>141382698
That's why is said you shouldn't use the term; just call stuff what they actually are.
The real terms are broad enough as it is, so why include one super term that's basically based on the gut feeling of uneducated people in the past.

>>141376946

How does it feel to have a shit opinion? Also, if tomatoes are fruits, so are cucumbers, all forms of peppers and chilies, and squash.

Only because the Portuguese make marmalade with them, and the Jams and Preserves directive requires such thing be made with fruit only (i.e. no extending it with pasrnips and swedes). This is of course necessary to stop the panzers rolling through the Ardennes once again.

In The states, due to special interest groups fucking with nutrition legislation to produce more profit for their companies, pizza is a vegetable when it comes to lunches in primary education

>>141377638
Correct. There is no such thing as a botanical vegetable. It's a culinary term, like calimari or sweetbreads. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culinary_name

It's also a "sympton" of being a taxonomist. You know, the people paid to be "pointlessly pedantic".

You're an example of why the lowest common denominator shouldn't be allowed access to an Internet connection.

Fruits, and seeds can be vegetables just like leaves and roots. Any part of a plant can be a vegetable.

>>141376946
>>141377081
Though it's taxonomically a fruit, in every culinary aspects, the tasty tomato is regarded as a vegetable.

>>141376946
