It creates my favorite pie - strawberry rhubarb. But i've never seen it used anywhere else. I had a strawberry rhubarb berry wine once. but the answer is still no. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were pretty good and I’m pretty sure they were strawberry flavored lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far from it. The best peaches come from South Carolina anyway. On 5/19/2020 at 6:57 AM, theJ said: Has anyone found a good use for it beyond pies and ice cream? Not that it's not great in pie.

We tend to classify fruits/veggies with how they're used, not what they are botanically, because otherwise eggplants, peppers, tomatoes, and a bunch of other things are berries. Rhubarb is a veggie botanically, but for how you use it, it's a fruit. It's the only one I can think of that goes the opposite way of tomatoes, but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe melons? I suppose you could try strawberries if they were kabobed. Roommates ex-gf worked at Texas Roadhouse and she used to bring me home some kind of brown/crystallized sugar mixture they put on god knows what. I would mix that into some butter and slather apple slices in it before throwing it on the grill. Highly recommend grilled apples.

ravens_rool28 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Not only do vegetables taste better, but they also hold more nutritional value than fruits. Veggies 4 lyfe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all the good things are still fruits. Plus...Like, Black Pepper? That's a berry. Kiss that goodbye Vegetable lovers. That's a fruit, and say goodbye to all peppers. Say goodbye to spice and flavour. Categorizing things inaccurately because other people did so, doesn't make it right. If all your friends followed a tomato off a cliff, would you?

ravens_rool28 Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 If you're using the botanical classification instead of the culinary classification for these then you're a nerd who's just trying to make your inferior choice sound better. For shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For shame. That's where I am on the debate. Colloquially, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, etc. are vegetables. Plus, trying to go scientific doesn't work, because inherently vegetables aren't a scientific definition. I mean, the definition of a vegetable is "a plant or part of a plant used for food." So, if yall all want to start getting nitpicky, fine. Tomatoes, peppers, pumpkins, cucumbers, etc. are all fruits. Good for you. All fruits are vegetables. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your foodie game is at level 8, I can't keep up. Too bad you think chili comes with beans. We could have been a special duo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won a chili cookoff in Knoxville. And it's mostly black beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've actually won a few before at work during rodeo season - no beans of course, because I'm a goddam American. (Cumin and a little bit of curry powder were the big difference makers...) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
