Zaad Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 haha yeah right. One site told that both melons and watermelons are veggies!!! :: How about combining them all and call them..let's say: fruitables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Simple my dear Zaad. If the seeds are on the inside of the fruit......it's a fruit. If ther are on the outside it's vegetable. Now what's so difficult about that. And fruitables are made by Fruit of the Loom whos seeds are definately on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaad Posted August 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 Concise Oxford dictionary? Doesn't sound familiar As I said before, it may very well be a fruit, but it will always be a veggie for me. Call me old-fashioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovineye Posted August 28, 2003 Report Share Posted August 28, 2003 The real definitive answer is this: The all powerful and all knowing United States Federal Government ruled, during the Regan era, that tomatoes are a vegetable. That way catsup counts as a vegetable in the Federal school lunch program mandate. Delicious and nutritious. Well, neither actually! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Hell, I learned that the tomato is a fruit way back in my high school. The American Heritage Dictionary, which is to American English what the Oxford Dictionary is to British English, claims that the tomato IS a FRUIT and NOT NOT NOT a veggie.

Zaad Posted August 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 You guys are slowly convincing me the tomato is not a veggie but a fruit. :: A few more of you and it's settled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattaya127 Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Oh, shit! Let's hope Daveman does not find out about this thread. Incidentally, I remember in France my parents told me against all expectations it was a fruit eaten as a vegetable! if that helps..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
