tomato is a vegetable
pro tip: if it grows on trees it's fruit. If it sprouts from the ground it's veggies.

>>16804147
So potato is fruit ok /ck/ seems credible

>>16804151
>potatoes grow on trees
dumb nigger

>>16804147
But that's not even true tho

>>16804153
OH GOOD TO KNOW STRAWBERRIES ARE VEGETABLES THEN

what's your favorite vegetable? for me, it's strawberries

>>16804147
Vegetables are a plant's stem, leaf and root
Fruits the seed containing matter which grows on a plant.

>>16804195
so nuts are a fruit? got it.

is this like Australian hours or something?

>>16804151

>>16804147
That makes pineapples a vegetable you fucking idiot

>>16804219
Nuts would be considered seeds.

>>16804219
nuts are from fruits

>>16804147
Trees sprout from the ground though.....

>>16805523
you know what I fucking meant you faggot

>>16804147
So pineapple would be a vegetable according to your theory?

>>16805525
No. I literally don't know what you meant. All plants sprout from the ground. How can that fact be used to differentiate between fruits and vegetables?

>>16804139
NOOO YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND MY TOMATO HAS LE HECKIN' UMAMI DESU. KAWAII~ NO IMARO-SAMA ZHENSHEN!!!

>>16804147
raspberries are my favorite vegetable

>>16804147
>Strawberry a vegetable
Fucking retard

>>16804139
I think its OK with ham and mushrooms

I like it as long as there's something spicy to counteract the added sweet taste, tomato sauce already has some sweetness to it so adding more sweet without anything else usually leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

>>16804139
Pineapple is OK actually

No tomato is a vegetable, fruits are sweet fucking brainlet

Because the division between fruits and veggies, in popular culture, is based on lines of sweetness. It's not a botanical classification.
Botanically, tomatoes are fruit, but culinarily, you're retarded.

>>16805833
Seeds DUMBASS.
And it IS sweet, read a fucking book.

>>16805977
What about seeds?

>>16804139
A vegetable is much improved by cooking it.
A fruit is quite nice to eat raw.
thats the definition.

>>16806073
>A fruit is quite nice to eat raw.
fish is fruit

>>16806110
No a fish is an animal!!

>>16806073
Man, c'mon. You can do better than this.

>>16805990
Formerly sucks

>>16806150
would ye rather eat a raw veg or a raw fruit? hmm? A cooked fruit with raw veg??

>>16804139
Genius idea op, we need to make pineapple sauce based pizza

>>16804139
Pineapple is ok though. Didn't read the rest of the thread.

>>16806124
If fish are an animal then why do they grow in the sea?

>>16806165

>>16806164
So, is lettuce a fruit? What about herbs?

>>16806191
herbs are herbs. lettuce is a leaf. Special case.

>>16805618

runescape taught me pineapples grew on trees

>>16806175
sir, please understand fish is animal then we can continue research.

>>16806197
Lol. No, you're just retarded. There isnt even an actual good definition for what makes a fruit a fruit from what I've seen. Every definition has exceptions. But, that's just a terrible definition that doesn't help anyone anywhere.

>>16805682
If you want your mind fully blown the fruits of the strawberry are actually the tiny hard "seeds" on the outside. The red fleshy part is not part of the fruit, botanically speaking. This doesn't line up with our shared culinary definition but there you go.

You idiots fruit is a botanical(scientific) term whereas vegetable is strictly an culinary one.

>>16806226
Then.... How do vegetarians and vegans decide what they can/can't eat?

>>16804219
yes
ignore the crop job I did to intentionally include the sentence "in autumn the children would go nutting"

>>16806226
Part of plant that plant wants to be eaten.

>>16804139
Because tomato has a savory flavor on top of its sweetness. Pineapple doesn't have that savory element that allows it to blend peacefully with other savory flavors. Pineapple is a harsh contrast.

>>16804219
Nuts are seeds, the fruit around it has no flesh to eat.
Same as cereals

>>16806176
Nice tart

>>16806124
Yes. That is actually correct. Not all animals are mammals.

attention all autismos and spergs:
the culinary and botanical classifications of fruit vs vegetable are separate
when talking about something you are going to eat it is more appropriate to use the culinary distinctions
when talking about identifying or propagating plants it is more appropriate to use the botanical classifications

The real fruit here is op because hes a fag.

>>16804139
>>16804147
tomatoes are both a fruit and vegetable. They are not mutually exclusive categories

>>16806493
Then why do murricans add sugar to pizza dough.

>>16806510
So you're admitting that chefs are coked out alcoholic chain smokers that can't even learn botany, the easiest of the sciences, and have to redefine basic definitions.

>>16804139
Its like putting a banana on it and calling it a herb

>>16806200
Noob, I...

>>16804139
i don't see anything wrong with PINEapple in pizza, most people I've seen bitch about it are mostly from the internet, or take great influence from internet trends, you know the ones.

>>16804139
Melons instead of pineapples.

>>16804183
apple

>>16806665
>Its like putting a banana on it and calling it a herb

Ha ha, nobody would do that right? Ha ha...

>In Sweden, you'll find pizzas topped with ripe bananas and a kick of curry.

>>16806556
because americans do literally everything

>>16804139
tomato is vegetable

try putting it in any other fruit dish, then tell me its acceptable

>>16806556
Sugar is used to feed the yeast and make it rise faster. It's a common trick for low-end baking.

>>16804147
Ok, so post a pic of a pineapple tree

>>16804139
Tomatoes are botanically a fruit but because of their savoriness is used culinarily as a vegetable. A pineapple is both botanically and culinary a fruit.

>>16806073
>A vegetable is much improved by cooking it.
You've never had grilled pineapple?

Tomato is like the least sweet fruit. So when you put salt in it, it just tastes salty. Imagine making a sauce out of pineapple and then trying to add salt and fat to it. You would vomit on the spot guaranteed.

>>16808145
cooking a pineapple does NOT improve the experience as much as cooking a vegetable improves the experience.
The definition is correct and sound of mind.
raw pineapple good. Cooked pineapple also good.
raw potato not good. Cooked potato good.

>>16806226
hey buster, refute this >>16808865
ye cant. done busted dusted and confirmed.

>>16804139
Raging over pineapple on pizza is something that only retards do.
I've lost count of the number of faggots I've seen who will say "fuck pineapple, pizza isn't supposed to be sweet" but will gladly eat pizza that has fucking bbq sauce on it.

>>16808872
Raw carrot good raw spinach good raw cabbage good raw onion good raw chives good raw beans good raw lettuce not only good but so good it is rarely cooked.

>>16808880
are you honestly saying you would rather eat raw carrots than caramelized carrots?

>>16808880
>eating raw onions

>>16808880
raw steak>well-done
