I don’t know why tomatoes are always the go-to “technically a fruit”
There are ones that are a lot weirder
Legumes are also fruits, so peanut butter is a smoothie
Heck, refried beans are a smoothie!
Because some people dont have the mindset of yhe biological(the scientific mindset) and culinary(the common mindset) seperate.
Tomato is common for it because its a fruit biologically and a vegetable culinarily.
Other examples of it in common practice is “berries”. Culinarily, strawberries and raspberries are berries, and bananas arent. Biologically its the opposite.
I think its fair to say a smoothie at least means you drink it from a cup. Is this how you’re refried beans?
Getting that nightshade smoothie 😎
datura nightmare hallucinations 😎
Tomato toxic when it green, but delicious when it red. Creeping nightshade toxic when it green, but has anyone even tried it when it red? Probably delicious.
Since when are green tomatoes toxic? I eat fried green tomatoes every summer…
Oh, I’m… I’m so sorry.
That Weird Fruit Explorer guy on Youtube has made some pretty interesting solanum smoothies and weird ketchups.
All fruits are technically vegetables as they are edible parts of plants.
“Technically” fruit is a term in both botany and culinary lexicons, but vegetable is only a term for culinary purposes.
Trying to cross terms with different meanings between lexicons and hoping to get order out isn’t reasonable.
