For me mainly like greasy nothing - I've tried guacamole very often because I love Mexican food, but the consistency simply isn't for me. Same with hummus interestingly, so only sour cream for me

Guacamole of course!

Botanically everything that comes off a plant that you can eat is a fruit, the distinction of fruits and vegetables is purely a culinary thing.

Kale is a leaf, different from a fruit as it’s not something the plant produces from a flower, but the plant body itself.

Yes indeed, which is why your comment confused me:

Botanically everything that comes off a plant that you can eat is a fruit

*In culinary terms, it is botanically a fruit.

Leaves don’t come off the plant, they are the plant, fruits come off of the plant.

"Come off" is possibly a fluent English expression here. Taken literally anything that is removed from a plant has come off it. You're using the expression which means something produced by the plant that is edible by function and doesn't harm the plant to remove, usually as part of seed dispersal. E.g. fruits, nuts, berries squash, corn, grains, etc...

Holy shit, I get so fucking sick of lemmy pedants. I’m done with this thread, don’t care anymore.

Similar to imitation guacamole. Not identical, but similar.

Primarily tastes of the ingredients you used to make it.
