I was given this one once, but my response was cucumber.
I like eating cucumbers.

Now I want a cucumber again. Fresh, juicy cucumber.

Vegetable is a culinary term, not a botanical one. Many vegetables are also fruits.

Actually cucumbers are berries.

Goddamnit. What about strawberry?

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Believe it or not, not a berry.

Actually berries, and therefore fruit!

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Oh thank God. Coffee is also a berry.

Yes, but just nod and wave at the community made almost entirely of Redditors with particularly strong opinions on things.
