Hmmm. Since breakfast cereal is demonstrably soup, that makes strawberries, Cheerios, and Reese’s Puffs all vegetables. Good to know.

Next question please.

Oh, fun! The debate over the culinary vs botanical meaning of fruit intersecting with the debate of culinary vs topological meaning of soup.
Breakfast cereal is soup[topological] but not soup[culinary]. It is therefore not a contradiction for it to be fruit[culinary].

As some said once, a vanilla soy latte is technically a 3 bean soup

Would it be soup or broth? Soup typically has something besides liquid to it afaik
ilinamorato@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Great word, topological.

So water, salt, cheese, meat, and noodles are all vegetables?
azertyfun@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Water is debatable, everything else why not. If a recipe is generic enough to call for “vegetables”, you wouldn’t be wrong to include any of those things.

So a roasted chicken is a vegetable?

Chicken and beef go in soup.
thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Therefore, chicken and beef is vegetables.
Checkmate, vegans!

Soup is just beef tea

Assuming you like eating chicken, when is it wrong to pair chicken with vegetables? I made a vegetable-mushroom-chicken soup last week and it was delish. Whether chicken is or isn’t a vegetable is an academic concern, not a culinary one.
Try putting mushrooms or chicken in the sangria however and you’ll be rightfully prosecuted for crimes against humanity.
