I love the "X isn't a vegetable, it's a fruit" people. It's like saying "Carrots aren't vegetables, they are roots", or "Tomatoes aren't fruits, they are red".
This is a friendly reminder to read our rules.

“Vegetable” is a purely culinary term. Botanically, cucumbers and tomatoes are fruits… but the terms are not mutually exclusive.
