Vegetables aren’t real. They made up the classification just to sell things that aren’t fruits.
Big Celery just trying to legitimize crunchy water
I could go for some refreshingly crunchy big celery right now
Maybe dipped in some oily legume seed paste that has a name including -nut but isn't one

Yeah I knew mushrooms were shady shit since when they snuck in with the badgers. Nobody batted an eye back then and look at where we are now.
I always categorized them as a snake
Fruit has a botanical and a culinary definition.
Vegetable only has a culinary definition.
Trying to decide on what food fits which category purely on the botanical definition of fruit is silly. In many other languages, the botanical and culinary definition even use completely different words. It's like saying lobster is red meat using a scientific definition of red.
But if we are having fun with this, rhubarb: definitely no fruit, but far too sweet, too often consumed raw or minimally processed, and far too at home in a yoghurt to fit nicely into the group vegetable.
Fucking
Fucking
I'm sorry, who exactly is out here calling mushrooms vegetables??
If it goes in soup, it's a vegetable. If it goes in Sangria, it's a fruit.
Next question please.
Chicken and beef go in soup.
Therefore, chicken and beef is vegetables.
Checkmate, vegans!
I absolutely call them vegetables. It's a kitchen term and it absolutely makes sense to categorise them alongside tomatoes, beans, carrots, squash and cabbage. People get too hung up on things only belonging to exactly one category.
I know this is probably a repost but the self-censorship is super annoying and has entered the lexicon in ways that can permanently damage human communication as a whole.
Yeah sure censor stuff from kid shows but we're at the point where "unalive" and "pdf file" are being used as code words. Everyone knows what they mean, even the censors.
100% agree, we live in a 1984 age.
Also, using stupid words such as unalive doesn't make any sense because the algorithm of social media companies knows exactly what it means.
My wife and I like to joke that vegetables aren't real and all of them are just something else in reality.
You're correct! "Vegetable" is a culinary term. "Fruit" is both botanical and culinary. The "tomato isn't a fruit" nonsense comes from people trying to conflate the two; if we called botanical fruits "grunkles" we wouldn't have this problem.
VEGETABLES DO NOT EXIST
I have a simple flowchart to determine what is or isn't a veggie:
> Can I eat it? -> Yes -> Does it come from an animal? -> No = Vegetable
That’s why they call you the bread man.
Sand has a lot of minerals in it. Probably the healthiest veggie of them all!
Intelligence is knowing tomatoes are a fruit
Wisdom is knowing to never add it to a fruit salad
fucking fucking
In terms of botany, a vegetable isn't a thing (it's a culinary term).
Whereas a fruit has a specific botanical term (and a culinary term).
Not everything is "one or the other", some things are neither (Rhubarb), and some are both (tomato).
It's the difference between the culinary use of the word and the biological use of the word. I thought we already figured that out?
The thing is too that mushrooms don't even cook like vegetables or even like a protein or anything. So not only are they not botanically vegetables, they aren't even culinarily vegetables either.
Also if you don't like mushrooms because of the texture, you're probably cooking your mushrooms wrong.
When people say that they are wrong. There are two different definitions for the word "fruit". They're homonyms for completely different words. It's like if i ask you: Which is lighter, a black Mini Cooper, or a white Hummer? Depends on which definition of "lighter" you're asking about
