    You’re correct! “Vegetable” is a culinary term. “Fruit” is both botanical and culinary. The “tomato isn’t a fruit” nonsense comes from people trying to conflate the two; if we called botanical fruits “grunkles” we wouldn’t have this problem.

      All in favor of renaming botanical fruits to “gruntled”?

      Aye

      Edit: God damn you, autocorrect
