minus-squareLavenderDay3544@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·20 days agoItalians need to realize that they don’t own the concept of putting toppings on a round piece of bread. And tomatoes aren’t even native to Italy so that throws a wrench into their ability to complain.
minus-squarePogbom@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·20 days agoAlso tomatoes are fruits so suck it Italy
minus-squareLavenderDay3544@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·20 days agoI’ll give them that one because they taste like they should be vegetables but science says otherwise.
minus-squareShapillon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·20 days agoOtoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.
minus-squareBertuccio@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·19 days agoI don’t particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.
minus-squareShapillon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoDurian would’ve been a fruitable :p
minus-squareLavenderDay3544@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·20 days agoThat’s interesting. It’s like how peanuts are legumes and not nuts. But I feel like that makes sense because of the pods.
minus-squareShapillon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoYeah and they grow in the ground too. A distinction that I find more entertaining than the fruit/veggie one is the berry category. blueberry: not a berry blackberry: nuh-uh Strawberry: you’re an accessory fruit banana: yup, totally a berry watermelon: go for it That’s nuts
minus-squareLavenderDay3544@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·19 days agoWho makes these rules? They’re so unintuitive.
minus-squareShapillon@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·19 days agoThese rules are made by botanists. A berry is a fleshy fruit without a pit produced by a single flower containing a single ovary. This definition is different from the colloquial culinary one which refers to anything small, growing on a small plant or bush and without a pit.
