Favourite fruit, berry and vegetable

[Jonluw]

Pineapple. I use it in a lot of my cooking.

But... not on pizzas, right?

Always on Pizza, especially when I make BBQ chicken pizza on the grill.

Noooooooooooo.

YES!!!!!!!!! I will physically fight you about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very well; my weapon shall be a three foot long pepperoni with spikes embedded in one end.

For added discussion value: Should we classify things as fruits/vegetable/berries based on the common gut feeling, or on the scientific definition? For instance, bananas, kiwis and tomatoes are per definition berries, but we usually call these fruits. Which term is correct?

What is this berry class you speak of?(I though they were only things that had berry in their name, not bananas and tomatoes)

OT:
Fruit: Melons(not the female ones, the eatable ones)

Berry: Strawberries(I could eat them till I die of eating disorder)

Vegetable: If you go with the culinary definition(I know I do; because when I cook I ask a chef, not a scientist or chemist; although in intellectual discussions I use the scientific classification) I really love tomatoes; if not cucumber.

And my weapon will be pineapple suppositories. It takes while to get the other person wore down to the point I can use them, but they are very effective once in place.

I think I read in a book that all "fruits" that have more than one seed are actually berries.
I give no guarantees though.

My favorite vegetable is.....eggplant.

It's not a plant and it doesn't lay eggs, it's an aubergine. Also technically it's a berry (see you learn something new every day). I know I sound like an arse but the word 'eggplant' is a pet hate of mine, not sure why.

Favourite fruit: banana
Favourite vegetable: potato
favourite berry: grape (yes a grape is a berry)

My rule of thumb:
If you can eat it as an appetiser/in between meals, it's a fruit.
If it's good with dressing, it's a vegetable.
If it's a berry... I don't quite care, because here we don't have a large variety of berries(usually from import)
And if I'm not sure what it is, I just eat it and think how good it tastes, and classify it as
Wow that's great=berry
Great=Fruit
Good=vegetable
Bad=shit

 

[Soxafloppin]

Fruit : Apples

Berry: Strawberry...Isnt that a fruit too?

Vegstable: Sweetcorn.

 

[Penguinness]

Fruit: Melon, definately.
Berry: Blueberry, though rarely have them.. if strawberry counts, then that =P
Favourite Veg: Hmm, brocoli. I like most vegtables.. so it's hard to pick. Brocolli is nice though.

Yes, but they have to be inside the fruit. Things like blackberries have individual ones in pods, so isn't actually a berry, and strawberries have them outside. I remembered that from QI, but I can't remember what the names of them are if they're not berries. But I'll just recognize them from what I was originally taught =P

Maybe we could all just go with the definition "if it's tiny, it's a berry"
