And the concept of a vegetable varies culturally. I live in Germany and I consider mais vegetables (it feels weird to call it corn in this context since other grains aren't). In Romania (and elsewhere I guess) potatoes are a vegetable which they aren't for me.

So is potato like a grain to you? In the sense of treating it more like a staple?

Absolutely! Potatoes, grains (except mais) and legumes (except green beans) are carbs (or staples). Polenta is too, despite being made of mais.

I thought that's the default?

I don't know who downvoted that but it wasn't me. I get where you're coming from, but I think more in terms of the part of the plant I suppose.
