Come on. Look at that shit. Peppers are vegetables, from red to green and everything in between. A tomato is just an extra juicy pepper! They're vegetables! They can't be fruit!

Peppers and tomatoes are both berries.

You're confusing taxonomic with dietary.

this, just really big berries

>t. someone who's never eaten a fresh tomato before in his life

this whole thread triggers me except you, bright light user

A vegetable in the culinary sense is not the same as a vegetable in the literal sense.

You're a vegetable in the literal sense.

Taxonomy always trumps culinary or other colloquial classifications.

Why does this mean?

it means that user is a retard for saying
>A vegetable in the culinary sense is not the same as a vegetable in the literal sense.

VEGETABLE ISN'T A TAXONOMIC DESIGNATION YOU RETARDED MEMESTER

The word fruit has a very specific definition.

BOOM ROASTED

I didn't use the word fruit, stupid asshole.

There is no such thing as a vegetable, it's something we made up.

You're a fucking retard. Don't reply to me again or I'll kill you.

come at me

*teleports behind you*

jokes on you

you're trapped in the wall now

>ITT: Fuckoff because everyone is confused about definitions that have been solidified since fucking Aristotle.

you can do shit shit head

To be fair, scientifically, vegetables don't exist.

The term "vegetable" doesn't mean anything in science, as all vegetables are roots, shoots, berries, droop sacks, etc.

It has no taxonomic meaning.

I just woke up and this had me on a decent chuckle.

Thank you.

>America; the thread.

here's my two cents when determining if something is a fruit or vegetable

Fruits grow off of a plant. So an apple is picked off a tree, grapes come from a vine, and blueberries are picked off of a bush. This makes peppers and tomatoes fruits.

Vegetables tend to be almost the whole plant itself--an entire carrot is pulled from the ground and the whole thing gets eaten (except for the shitty leaves at the top), A lettuce head is the entire plant which gets everything eaten except for the shitty roots.

man i mean who even care
tomato is tomato, aint no two ways about it

What about vegetative portion of plants such as leaves, stems,and roots?

Same thing. The point is that the term "vegetable" could mean any of a dozen (or more) different plant parts: stems, leaves, roots, tubers, etc. Any plant part (except a fruit) could be called a vegetable.

Fruit is very specific.

Check out this tard that doesn't eat his carrot leaves.

Brussels sprouts and baby carrots are both picked off the plant
