Well, I guess we can move the avocado into some strange limbo of
designation food-wise, since it may appear both before, during, and after
the main course.
Tomatoes, and cucumbers likewise have always been 'vegetables' in
cookbooks, but 'fruits' in botany.
Being the yankee what I is, if it's green, it's a vegetable. The tomato
is the exception that proves the rule.
May I take this opportunity to nominate the Avocado as the Church of
Virus' Official Edible?
Its inclusion into all categories may be unique....
(As a yankee, I'd personally nominate rhubarb, but I know the faces I'd
get....)
