does that mean creamed corn technically a fruit smoothie?

Cornbread technically a fruitcake?

Corn fritters belong in the doughnut cabinet with apple fritters?

Does that mean whiskey is ketchup

    strawberries are definitely fruit comrade, the fleshy part is the swollen ova of the flower, so if i'm remembering correctly the 'spots' on a strawberry the are actually individual fruits themselves

    wheat, and rice are also fruit, rice wine and beer are fruit drinks 🍻

    vegetable meaning loosely any edible part of a plant, fruits are also vegetables

      Yes that’s what I meant. What we consider a fruit in the strawberry is actually a pseudo fruit formed from the receptacle of the flower, not the ovaries. And the “seeds” are fruits with the seeds inside them.

      And yes ofc fruits are vegetables. Every edible part of a plant is a vegetable. But also, vegetable is a culinary category and is very loose and unscientific so yeah…
