Fun facts, in French vegetables are called "legumes", even though most of them aren't related to the Fabaceae family

I'm so glad that this problem isn't just limited to English.

Spanish doesn't have a word for nuts, they just say "dried fruit".

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

What do they call actual dried fruit?

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 1 points 5 days ago

I mean they're not really that different, right?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Yeah, I'd say they're really different.

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 1 points 5 days ago

Haha me too... I mean a coconut is not really 'dry'?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago

Coconuts aren't nuts, despite the name.

Would anyone actually use the term Soupe aux légumineuses or just be direct about what's in it?
