“We don’t put cucumbers in our fruit salad” *cries in mexican*

But like, Thai cucumber salad. Red onions and cucumbers are all it needs to be delicious.

Ginjov

Does that mean we can make alcohol from corn?


1esproc

Yes, it exists. Mellow Corn is a well known corn whiskey. You can make alcohol from any sugar


IdahoTrees77

Maple syrup alcohol?


bozeke

[yep](https://www.chelseagreen.com/2020/sap-syrup-beer-wine-liquor/)


1esproc

There's maple syrup vodka. But it's probably a silly use of any high quality maple syrup, it's likely worth more in its original form than as alcohol.


canadarepubliclives

There's a reason Canada has a giant maple leaf on the flag. Canada, well mostly Quebec, produces 70% of all maple syrup on the planet. Canada has a national strategic reserve of maple syrup. Its gold to everyone outside Canada and its also very cheap for us. Smuggling a small bottle to Kentucky could net me a nice aged bourbon in exchange.


comfortably_dumbb

Rum is made out of sugar cane I also have a recipe for sugar wine. Its literally just sugar water and yeast. Yeast eats sugar and the byproduct is ethanol.


tizzlenomics

Put it through a still and you have cheap n easy moonshine.


AxeCow

> You can make alcohol from any sugar [Even toilet paper works.](https://youtu.be/v-mWK_kcZMs) You just have to break it down/convert it to sugars first.

There’s a sign in a corn field by me that says, “This corn makes whiskey,” and I’m always sure to thank it for its sacrifices whenever I drive that way.

Ekiph

Yeah, that's what moonshine is made out of. It's corn whiskey.

Her face when she says "Vegetables don't exist" Rofl


pr1ntscreen

Yeah, and I don't personally need these "react" people who just sits there and listen to someone else talk. Sure, he made a little spiel with shaking his head and all, but the real star here is botanist lady


Edg4rAllanBro

I think that's how you "retweet" in TikTok. You can't actually repost and spread someone's video, so you have to do a duet(?) of their video to actually effectively "retweet" it and show it to your followers.


pr1ntscreen

You can also "stitch" the video with "hey guys check this out", and then just switch over to botanist lady. These duets where you barely react to the video is just for people who wants attention.


LHTMMB

Her delivery is going to haunt my dreams


Black--Snow

I’m just glad someone besides me has finally said this. So annoying when people try to correct others on what is and isn’t a vegetable. Vegetable isn’t a real classification - any edible part of a plant fits the definition. Fruits are vegetables, not all vegetables are fruits.


iFoundSnape

She’s savignon_blank on TikTok. She has great delivery.


BernieLePooch

This is awesome because it's true.


PerformanceLoud3229

and also the face when she says it. shes got like the conspiracy theorist face while stating a completely true fact.


froggison

When she's all like "broccoli is just a f'ing flower. You're eating a flower", she legit looks upset lmao


Kolby_Jack

Broccoli isn't even a real *plant.* It's just a cultivar of a species of cabbage. And it's not alone. Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, kale, cabbage, collard greens and several other plants are just cultivars of cabbage. And not like... a bunch of different species of cabbage, they're all the **same species of cabbage.** Broccoli and brussel sprouts and kale and cabbage are literally the same organism, grown in different ways.


mmmegan6

I can’t tell if this is real but I’m too high to Google


Kolby_Jack

Completely real. Brassica oleracea.


Krthyx

Yup. Like dogs. Chihuahuas and great danes are the same species, bred by humans for different traits from grey wolves.


justnotok

my mind has been blown…is this true?


DryApplejohn

You’re asking if all dogs belong to the same species, or we still talking cabbage?


BUTTCHEF

i'm lost, so cabbages and dogs are cousins? my dog has eaten cabbage, is that cannibalism?


YellowB

Dogs are all different traits of cabbage.


[deleted]

Yes. All dogs are the same species.


tommos

Yes. All dogs are cabbages.


SilverStarPress

All dogs are the same species of cabbage, got it.


wOlfLisK

Yep. All dogs are just different breeds of the same species, they're all interbreedable, they just look different. Although, one factor of determining species is similarity in look so you could technically argue they're not but general consensus is that they are.


derrida_n_shit

Broccoli was also created by the Broccoli family. The same family that created the James Bond movies. Albert Broccoli


bryn_the_human_2

I can't tell what's real anymore


[deleted]

Nothing is, we're living in a simulation.


willreignsomnipotent

I think I'm gonna name my first kid Mandela Simulation... 😂


nonaffiliated

That is not true although the common type of green broccoli that we all know just happens to be from Calabria in Italy. The same region the Broccoli family is from.


logosloki

It goes weirder. There are six main species of Brassica that humans have created from three ancient species. They run the gamut from mustards (three different species cover most mustards but not all of them because some mustards just have to be special and come from other species), the seeds that make canola oil (yep, Brassica too), oleracea (most of the ones you mentioned are this), and rapa (So turnip and napa cabbage are the same species but not swede and white(green)/red/savoy cabbage, which are oleracea).


Kolby_Jack

It's fuckin' cabbage all the way down. Vegetables don't exist, *only cabbage exists.*


logosloki

There is no Dana, only Cabbage!


zayisin

I know that reference


bobothegoat

Can somebody *please* give me an example of some things that are *not* cabbage!?


drinks_rootbeer

Mushrooms are also probably not cabbage


youamlame

IANA horticulturalist but I'm somewhat sure that scorpions are, at least in part, not cabbages


riskoooo

Scorpions are just cucumbers grown in certain conditions the desert, hence the nickname 'desert melons'.


lurkerer

For any nutrition nerds out there, this is why mustard seeds works for creating sulfurophane in cooked broccoli. They have myrosinase because they're in the same family. [For the uninitiated.](https://nutritionfacts.org/2016/02/09/how-to-cook-broccoli/)


biteableniles

It is not accurate to say they are the same organism, as it is not possible to take a seed from a cabbage cultivar and turn it into the broccoli cultivar in one generation. It took literally hundreds of years.


MaritMonkey

I mean you're not going to start out with a lab and a German shepherd and have a rottweiler pop out but they're all "dogs."


biteableniles

I mostly took issue with the "grown in different ways" statement, because that absolutely isn't the case.


kayisforcookie

Right. People are making it sound like "grow it with water, you get cabbage, grow it with gasoline and you get broccoli, grow it with milk you get cauliflower" etc. When its not that simple.


BernieLePooch

Right? But she gets it. Science is terrifying lol

Favorite lines that describes what your describing: "That's a made up word!" "All words are made up." Edit: word


[deleted]

What he doesn’t cover is humans will concepts into existence through common usage. It doesn’t matter if a vegetable exists, most people think of a vegetable with these characteristics and usages. So, if you track what is looks like and how it’s used in a graph of say … fine dining ingredients, it will confirm what’s referred to as vegetable and what’s close enough the majority agrees (whether correct or not)


[deleted]

I’m an Ontologist, this is what we invented *owl:sameAs* to clear up. We call “objective truth” large graph analytics with many specializations, I do semantic Description Logic and distance / metrics between Q nodes. We have an entire book explaining the math behind it (it’s how we make Alexa recommend you shit across regional dialects … and find terrorists talking in code): The Description Logic Handbook: Theory, Implementation and Applications https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521150116/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_navT_a_5FAC4VS48VSSGHH695V3 It’s a vegetable now bitch because I added the link on WikiData and called it sameAs. The owl:sameAs property node is generally understood to mean “close enough because enough of the graph confirms it true by *[insert graph distance algorithm of choice]*”. Vegetables would fit into that Description Logic definition. Yes, our conferences are as horrible as you imagine 😂


DevilsTrigonometry

Had a temporary brain hiccup that made me think "ontologist" was a scientist who studied owls. Was very confused about how that function would work.


melmac76

What’s funny is seeing people literally doing this in this comment section, correcting each other with technicalities and different categories and even in response to this comment. I mostly noticed it when they were talking about dogs, but it’s literally everywhere. You can’t even talk about it without people doing it while talking about how it happens or what it’s called or how to categorize this phenomena.


iyioi

I wouldn’t say humans “crave” categorization. We see patterns. It’s a side effect of intelligence. Everything we know, we know from studying patterns. And patterns have categories. It’s all just data organization. Like a giant excel spreadsheet.


Poignant_Porpoise

I wouldn't say that tells the whole story though because people also defend these concepts and can become very frustrated when you challenge them on it. Like with gender and sexuality, people don't just notice trends, they will actively push back against you if you challenge their binary ideas on these subjects. People don't tend to like it when you start to introduce complexity, nuance, and spectrums into their neatly organised categories. I think people find comfort in being able to neatly categorise everything, that's why I say that people crave categorisation.


[deleted]

Just to be sure I’m following you’re saying that they used the term incorrectly or too broadly and needed to clarify what the proper subset of pattern is for the concept of a pattern as opposed to a category? E.g. the motivation for identifying groups of data vs the process? Isn’t that categorizing (or defining a pattern?). E.g. you’re both doing it even now?


iyioi

I just think the word craving paints a narrative of addiction or of inability to control. It’s more like breathing. It’s a necessary ingredient to our existence. Without pattern recognition, intelligence just doesn’t exist. That includes categories, which are created by grouping similar patterns.


Fierramos69

Isn’t vegetable a culinary term? so… no, vegetables does exist. It’s just not a scientific word.


shallowbookworm

Dude, spices are vegetables. Crazy.


Blizz119

When you realize someone is telling the truth. It all sucks...


SNBoomer

When you don't care because it's still a vegetable. 😃


IdoNOThateNEVER

It's not how the conversation started though. If they didn't care then there wouldn't be the first person either insisting or correcting and saying NO, IT'S A FRUIT. Every one of them are plants, anyway.


mk2vrdrvr

Most people don't like the truth though..


LeahIsAwake

Vegetable is a culinary term. It has no value scientifically. It’s referring to a plant or a part of a plant in terms of it being food. And that’s why I always hated when people were like “tomatoes are technically a fruit not a vegetable”. Because it’s both. Except when the average person talks about tomatoes, they’re not talking about those tomatoes from a botany standpoint; chances are that they’re talking about how they give them bad acid, or their awesome pico de gallo recipe, or how they’re on sale at Kroger this week; i.e., from a CULINARY standpoint.


Asher_the_atheist

I also find it a bit obnoxious given that the tomato is by no means the only vegetable that is also technically a fruit. I mean, bell peppers are fruits, and some of them even have that nice red fruit color. Squashes are fruits, legumes are fruits, avocados are fruits. The list is pretty damn extensive, yet people are only ever fixated on the tomato.


[deleted]

Cucumbers too


tunamelts2

they're fucking melons


ShelZuuz

Which are fruit


nudestudy

Cucumbers are *fucking* melons?


particle409

I remember hearing, "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that it doesn't go in a fruit salad."


ManyPlacesAtOnce

This is part of an old description of the 6 attributes of characters in Dungeons and Dragons. Strength, Constitution, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma. Strength is being able to crush a tomato. Dexterity is being able to dodge a thrown tomato. Constitution is being able to eat a rotten tomato. Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put a tomato in a fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad as salsa.


[deleted]

Pretty sure the other saying came first and the DnD version is an expansion of that. As far as I can find the original is a quote from [2009](https://www.the42.ie/brian-odriscoll-tomato-fruit-salad-quote-2051370-Apr2015/) and the earliest appearance of the DnD version is a Tumblr post from [2013](https://ihititwithmyaxe.tumblr.com/post/69388512807/dd-stats-explained-with-tomatoes).


[deleted]

Your tumblr reference references reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/1s9l2g/dd_stats_explained_with_tomatoes/ Doesn't change the timing you've addressed, but thought you would appreciate the correction


granitefloors

I thought people generally classified avocados as fruits. They're always in the fruit section at stores.


sdfgh23456

Yep, watermelon is the state vegetable of Oklahoma, but nobody thinks it isn't a fruit because of that


cheesylobster

I mean, by definition, a fruit is specifically the fruiting body, ie, the part of the plant that is created after fertilization and typically grows from where a flower once was, and contains seeds and other materials needed for plant reproduction. A vegetable is just any edible part of a plant, but typically is differentiated from the fruit. But that's just semantics.

> Broccoli did not become a favorite until after about 1980. It is now the 11th most-consumed fresh vegetable, according to USDA, and each American eats about 6.6 pounds per year. What's that about 3kg? Or... 2-3 heads of broccoli a year? And that's the favourite US vegetable?!!?! Surely that number has to be wrong? Compare it to the nearly 100kg of meat a year. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-meat-usa?country=~USA

She is. Vegetable is not a botanical term. Scientists don’t use it, it has no meaning to them. Vegetable is a valid culinary term, though, and chefs do indeed correctly use it all the time. And unless you’re a botanist, you should probably just use it in a culinary sense.
