Peas are a legume. Eggplant is technically a typically mislabeled fruit like Tomatoes. Peppers are nice but also essentially a fruit, botanically speaking. Veggies suck. Tomatoes are legally a vegetable though. For the purposes of this, I assume all berries that we treat as vegetables are veggies. On the other hand, though rhubarb is a vegetable botanically, I think everyone thinks of it as a fruit. Coconut too. Although if we're eliminating coconut, that will bring the stock of fruit up substantially. But yeah, peas and mushrooms don't count.

titansNvolsR#1 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Fruits are great but have some schlubs that are bringing them down like papaya, coconut, and peaches. Veggies are great but have some schlubs that are bringing them down like olives, mushrooms, and celery. Total tossup. I lean keeping vegetables though.

I live for my grandmother's homemade peach ice cream and jam. I'm also not a coconut fan, but there are two exceptions........I will toast coconut in the oven to get it brown, roll up french vanilla ice cream into balls and coat them with the coconut. Serve it with strawberry, chocolate and any other toppings/syrup you like. It's a great dessert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Canadian, i reject your awful court decision and will continue to properly classify Tomatoes as a fruit. And eat pizza. With no vegetables on it, because they add nothing anyway.

Dont care if I just had a full 7 course meal before an offering. Ill find a way. And nothing beats a baked potato beside a beef serving. Or grilled corn on the cob. French fries. Fried blooming onions or standard rings. Never heard anyone say they were going to have an apple with their steak. Potatoes are really the big heavy hitter for team Veggie here. But as much as potatoes are a great side...they're just not so outstanding in and of themselves, as to outweigh the heavy tally of big wins in the Fruit column. It'd hurt to give up fries in particular, but it's by far the lesser of two evils if you had to give up one or the other. I absolutely love bread, so i can find a way to make that sub in for potatoes. Other things on the fruit side, you just can't replace. I'm keeping part of corn too. Since the kernel is actually a grain or whatever, and that's all i'm really interested in anyway. 17 hours ago, Daniel said: Tomatoes are legally a vegetable though.

Other than...basically the only good vegetables are actually fruits. Vegetables can keep rhubarb for all i care. Though i've always thought of it as a vegetable. It basically grows in a spazzy lettuce plant. Ain't nothing "fruit" about it really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it's not great in pie. It creates my favorite pie - strawberry rhubarb. But i've never seen it used anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
