Botanically everything that comes off a plant that you can eat is a fruit, the distinction of fruits and vegetables is purely a culinary thing.

Kale is a leaf, different from a fruit as it’s not something the plant produces from a flower, but the plant body itself.

Yes indeed, which is why your comment confused me:

Leaves don’t come off the plant, they are the plant, fruits come off of the plant.

"Come off" is possibly a fluent English expression here. Taken literally anything that is removed from a plant has come off it. You're using the expression which means something produced by the plant that is edible by function and doesn't harm the plant to remove, usually as part of seed dispersal. E.g. fruits, nuts, berries squash, corn, grains, etc...

Holy shit, I get so fucking sick of lemmy pedants. I’m done with this thread, don’t care anymore.

That escalated quickly

Sorry i didn't mean to suggest you did anything wrong, it just looked like there was some confusion. Say what you want and how you want to say it.

*In culinary terms, it is botanically a fruit.

Yeah...isn't that something? πŸ€”

Primarily tastes of the ingredients you used to make it.

Similar to imitation guacamole. Not identical, but similar.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 1 points 1 week ago

Guacamole of course!

For me mainly like greasy nothing - I've tried guacamole very often because I love Mexican food, but the consistency simply isn't for me. Same with hummus interestingly, so only sour cream for me
