when it comes to food, you have to consider the culinary classification over the biological one.

e.g the berry situation (e.g strawberries aren't berries, but bananas are, culinarily its the opposite). mushrooms are all classified as vegetables culinarily. Tomatoes are fruit biologically, but culinarily vegetables

While there is a clear biological definition of fruit there is no biological definition of vegetable. So why can't something be a fruit and a vegetable at the same time. Why can't a tomato be a fruit vegetable?

Using "fruit vegetable" would solve all issues because I can't think of any culinary fruits that are not also biological fruit. So no word is needed for the opposite situation. The whole confusion stems from the idea that something must either be fruit or vegetable. End the binary state of fruits and vegetables!

Wait I thought about it for a couple more minutes and there are humongous amounts of biological fruits that are not culinary fruits. Wheat, rice, sunflower seeds, almonds, basically any grain or seed. Well nevertheless I like the concept of fruit vegetable. But I do admit my point just became weakened.

Philosopher here, there is the idiom "fruits of our labour", therefore outcomes of labour, for example: this pizza I baked, can also be considered a fruit of that labour.

Therefore Pizza itself is a fruit!

Also pineapples are gross.

Foot fetish stuff isnt for everyone either, but I dont judge if thats your style. I'm bisexual, I dont expect everyone to love gay sex like i do.

Now who has a glory hole, pineapple rings, and a can opener?

[-] Keeponstalin@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Pineapple is a top tier fruit

But on pizza, it really needs jalapeños to work

[-] Mim@lemmy.zip -1 points 3 days ago

It really doesn't.

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 3 points 2 days ago

thanks for reminding me this existed 😂

[-] hoch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Tomatoes don't try to eat me

[-] unmagical@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Pepper, tomato, olives, and pineapple all belong on pizza. I've had pizzas with apples, peas, corn, butternut squash, chilis, and cucumbers on them before as well. I've even seen kiwi on pizza before.

If you really out here gatekeeping what other people have on their pizza you need to grow the fuck up.

Screw the rules, I am putting apples and peach on my pizza, try and stop me

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

I thought this was America...Oreo pizza.

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Shoot me, I like pineapple on my pizza. But can we at least agree that kiwi doesn't belong on it?

Also, I came across a tiramisu pizza yesterday. Yes, they actually took the best dessert available and ruined it by putting it on a slab of dough. 😑

[-] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Olives, tomatoes, eggplant, pumpkin, pineapple, capsicum, chili, all pretty standard pizza fruits if you ask me

i could also suggest for pear, roquette, some pinenuts and parmesan on a pizza, maybe a sprinkle of garlic and oil on the base

I bet apples would go pretty well on a sweet pizza, some honey, feta maybe?, I dunno, youse haven't spent enough time cooking if you're putting a blanket ban on fruit on your baked goods #getbaked

im having a hard week, i hope someone takes something from my negative energy, goodnight

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

This actually makes me wonder if sliced tomato on my pizza would be good. Probably imo, might try that next time

Slice tomato is used on Margherita pizza. It's too wet, in my opinion, but plenty of people enjoy it.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 days ago

Sundried tomatoes are where it's at

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

It's wet and slimey. Pass.

[-] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Fun fact: There are no rules. Put whatever the hell you want on pizza. Pineapple and anchovy? Go for it. Why not?

[-] Tyrq@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago

Peppers are pretty popular, I don't see many people complaining about them

Did AI just discover married with children? Seems like I am seeing a lot of the Bundy's.

I am fulfilling a long held oath to a stranger I never met.

Intelligence is knowing tomatoes are a fruit, like pineapples.

Wisdom is putting only tomatoes on a pizza.

[-] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Intelligence is knowing pineapples are infructescences, that is, many fruits that grow into a single body.

Wisdom is not bringing that up to correct people like a jackass.

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Pears are the new pineapple.

[-] pineapple@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 days ago

There is no new pineapple. You can't replace me!

[-] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Ok, but try eating a pizza with pineapple sauce. Gak.

[-] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 days ago

Didn't the usa pass a law way back making tomatoes a vegetable? The precedent was set a long time ago but they don't like applying the same thought process to genders, do they?
