It's a fruit, you donut.
Serious question: do people on team fruit also call other “culinary vegetables” fruits, such as cucumbers, zucchini, corn, eggplants, bell peppers, green beans, etc.?
I’ve been told that beans are an especially magical fruit.
Especially if you know how to flick it
Flick it to stick it!
I don't mind calling all of those things fruit. It seems people get really weird about making savoury meals out of fruit. Like I know a tomato is a fruit, I put tomato on pizza, I never once while making pizza have a thought about whether a vegetable or a fruit is going on my pizza. It's just a tomato, it can swing both ways.
I prefer polysemy. There is a very useful category of “edible plants typically used in savory dishes”. Imagine someone being upset with you because you brought green beans when they asked for a side of vegetables.
I don’t see the point in taking the botanical definition of fruit and pretending it’s useful in the culinary world.
Depends on context? If I'm talking about the fruit on the plant, yes. If it's in my kitchen, no, that'd be silly 🙄
fruits are a vegetable
Not botanically or culinary, but don't let that get in the way of how you feel.
