Italians 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.

Also tomatoes are fruits so suck it Italy

I'll give them that one because they taste like they should be vegetables but science says otherwise.

Otoh the fruit/veggie dinstinction is from culinary tradition and has nothing to do with botanical sciences.

I don't particularly mind the culinary fruit/vegetable definition, but feel like sweet fruits/savory fruits/vegetables would have been clearer.

Durian would've been a fruitable :p

[-] LavenderDay3544@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

That's interesting.

It's like how peanuts are legumes and not nuts. But I feel like that makes sense because of the pods.

[-] Shapillon@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Yeah 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

Who makes these rules? They're so unintuitive.
