Thanks by the way, Jean, for letting me know that Eggplant is also a fruit- and therefore can't be my new favourite vegetable.
I'd suggest a new favourite vegetable but I'm sure whatever I pick it will probably also be a fruit. Can anyone tell me something that is actually a vegetable- surely once you remove cucumbers, eggplants and tomatoes and their relatives you can't have many options left?
Incidentally- one of the funniest words in the English Language is Legume. My sister Sandy and I used to say it to each other to make each other laugh. Legume. I think they gave it a name that was so amusing because all of the worst vegetables fit into that category and they needed something to make the vegetables feel better about being very healthy but generally gross.

Lay off the legumes! Not only are they funny to say but some of them are very nice. Lentils, beans...are soy beans legumes?
ReplyDeleteUm, are legumes classified as vegetables? I think legumes are a class of their own.
ReplyDeleteMushrooms, however, are fungi.
ReplyDeleteLegumes, I think, aren't veges either. Maybe you should google that too.
I could go on all day ...
My dear friend, I am catching up on my blog reading, and I would like to inform you that anything which grows from a flower - corn, zucchinis, capsicum - is actually a fruit.
ReplyDeleteRoots and things which grow from roots - carrots, potatoes, beetroot - are definitely veges.
Leaves - like cabbage, lettuce - I have no idea. You will have to google that one. And I might go and do that right now, pedant that I am ...
Love Jean.
