Fruits vs. Vegetables: The Deathmatch - Neatorama

Think you know your fruits from your veggies? Slashfood doesn't think so. Take their quick quiz - just scribble your answers down on a scrap piece of paper or remember them in your head. I have to admit, I did worse than I thought I would. Photo via Wikipedia user Gpics.

Failed <- Just kidding...just went by what my teachers taught...if it has seeds it's a fruit.

Yeah, it's a foggy area. That's why I said it's not ENTIRELY true. Of course it's a plant. The point was it's not a fruit in the traditional sense most people think it is. Not something I'd ever correct someone on but kinda neat

Gah this annoys me. The terms 'fruit' and 'vegetable' are used in different contexts, and items can be both, such as the tomato.

It's a Fruit if you eat the flower, the seed, or the covering around the seed.

It's a Vegetable if you eat the stalk, the root, or the leaves.
