RE: Is it just me or are others coming across new players?
Yeah, here's the thing:
Vegetable is not a precisely defined scientific term. It is a casual "common usage" word that can mean different things depending upon what context in which you're using it. It can mean something very specific (such as "a plant or a part thereof that is used in cooking" or possibly "a plant or a part thereof that is not a fruit that is used in cooking" or even "a plant or fungus or part thereof that is used in cooking" since mushrooms are often colloquially considered vegetables, even though they are not even plants), or the word can be extraordinarily broad in meaning (e.g. "any plant"). So according to this, yes, a tomato is both a fruit and a vegetable. |
