Pizza a vegetable

[petros]

I'd like to order a 13" ham, pepperoni, green pepper with feta please! All the food groups including the goat food group.

Feel like a kid again. Drink goat's milk.

Good for old goats I guess. :lol:

Feta is nice with pickled herring.

The thing that really gets me is that they're using a fruit to justify calling pizza (or hypothetically poutine) as a vegetable.

Why? Canada lumps them together as one food group. Really, no one I know eats tomatoes as a fruit, as far as I can tell, the whole 'tomatoes are really fruit' thing is an exercise in intellectual masturbation. Sure, it makes you feel good but it really makes no real world difference.

Well you can say that about just about anything when it comes to food groups.

Fruit grows in an orchard, vegetables grow in the vegetable garden, these botannical people seem to have a hard time getting that through their heads.

Fruit has the seeds on the inside.

It has nothing to do with where you grow it.

Calling a tomato a vegetable is like calling a cow a fish.

No, not really. When looking at fibre, nutrient, carbohydrate, and fructose profiles, tomatoes are more like a vegetable than they are like a fruit. Plus they are cooked and consumed as a vegetable. So, why call them a fruit when you're not talking about botanical classifications? No one jumps around doing the same for the other members of the nightshade family like peppers and egg plants.

How many servings of fruit is a cup of coffee?

Sorry I forgot to add the smiley-

How many servings of fruit is a cup of coffee?

One serving of vegetable - coffee is a bean.

 

[Corduroy]

It's not a bean. Coffee comes from the seeds of the fruit of the coffee plant.

Strawberries are my favourite vegetables.

Just applying Tenpenny's definition and adding human interest.

Sea cucumbers are NOT my favourite vegetables.

For fruits and vegetables it's "intellectual mastication."

I masticate several times a day. It makes me feel better.

Shouldn't "et cetera" be abbreviated "etc."?
