| tigers9iron - Though technically fruits, they are considered both, especially in the culinary sense.
Here's one link that goes into some detail, but there are many others: http://www.thecookinginn.com/introduction.html . Even Wikipedia, your source, includes under its "Vegetables" article that the term, in a culinary context, can apply to that which is from a plant: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetables .
Thank you for stating your case courteously, though- it is very much appreciated! :-D |
