Fruit is defined as a plant product that would continue ripening even after it's been removed from the plant.

The brocoli is the plant itself. *sigh* this is twice i've had to bring this out:

Broccoli is a vegetable...

The real question is what categories do the following items fall under:

Tomato
Pumpkin
Cucumber

 

[The Spawn]

Did you edit your post every time you brought it out?

Fruits, they have seeds

 

[SuperFerret]

Fruits are the reproductive parts of a plant (the ovaries, I believe). Vegetables are the entire plant, or most of the plant in some cases. I wish there were some sort of Veggie Tales holy war over this.

Cucumbers have seeds?

 

[Malice]

Cucumbers have seeds?

[SuperFerret]

[TKing]

I can't believe you'd concede on a matter of this magnitude. I mean, I can understand giving up an argument in a thread about race or religion or how much you hate Bendis, but this is important!

Young people today, they have no priorities.

You idiot! Do you realize what you've DONE?! Soon we'll be overrun by swarms of carrots, onions, peppers and more! All armed to the... legumes... and... and... rabid!! They'll have rabies! They'll be chomping at the bit to take down the "good for nothing" fruit! Lo, the dire hour of scurvy is upon us all...
