  Legally speaking, but nobody thinks it’s true.

  This goes hard.

    No, they aren’t. Fruit describes a part of a plant, vegetable is defined in a cultural way and by the way they are consumed. So there is an overlap (including tomatos, zucchini, pumpkin, …) but most fruits aren’t vegetables. When we say “fruit”, we think of those fruits that are sweet and eaten raw or in cake or marmalade, …

    German has two words that can be translated into fruit: Frucht is the part of the plant and Obst is a social category of fruits that are sweet and you would expect in a fruit salad. So tomato is Frucht but not Obst.

      Fruit also has a cultural (culinary) definition, and vegetable also has a technical definition (probably more than one)

      Vegetables is a broader and higher classification of food. It describes any edible plant

      It refers to leaves, roots, stems, stalks, seeds, pods

      It even refers to fruits other than tomatoes, e.g. peppers, squash, okra, corn, peas… all fruits, some even berries

      If we wanted, right now, we could ALL just decide to start naming another subclass of vegetables, let’s say roots are now called beebles

      Well now it’s fruits, vegetables, and beebles. If this were a trinary, then we’d swear NO YOU FOOL, POTATOES AND RADISHES ARE NOT VEGETABLES!!! THEY ARE DAMN BEEBLES!!!

      And that… just sounds so silly

  Culinary vegetable, but fruit of the vine.

  It’s a fruit. Everyone knows it’s a fruit. But everyone still thinks of it as a vegetable. Even though they know it’s a fruit.

  As much as literally any other fruit, but people have needlessly strong and opposing opinions about it? Yeah… that tracks

  As wealthy millionaire living my best life, I’m giving 35 grand to anyone who messages “GRACE” on Telegram @Georgestones12 I understand that many people are struggling with bills, and I want to help reduce that burden. It’s a season of love, kindness, and blessings.
