Wrap your head around this one. A banana tree is actually a type of grass.

This banana for scale implies that is a very small watermelon.

"You are a berry Harry" - less interesting version of Harry Potter
AnythingMuchShorter
All this confusion is just people not realizing that there are culinary and botany classifications and they're different but share names.
AnythingMuchShorter
Just search "Botanical definition of (plant type)" or swap in "culinary" you'll get different definitions.
Doup
They probably would've let Strawberry stay if he had been more inclusive

That's why blues sitll in, not becaus eof wetaher its a berry or not but becaus eof acceptance

This is the only time I hate science. All the food is not the food you thought it was.
Youhavinagiraffe
I don't think scientists want colloquial categorisation to match scientific categorisations. Blame pedants, not scientists
DiceyBusiness
Some tubers are bulbs & some are bulbs and others are corms. Welcome to botany, abandon all hope ye who enter here.
GuacamoleMoleMolester
No, it's just one of the many ways to categorise it.
Phlynch
Culinary categories and scientific categories are very different. Science has all these rules for what does and doesn't count as a berry. 1/
Kbantar
Yep. All living things have protein. But when cooks use the word, they only mean animal muscle tissue, I think.
Phlynch
There are other kinds of foods that have protein in the culinary sense, but yeah food protein and science protein are different things.
Kbantar
Oh really? I though it was just meat which is for some reason separated from fish and seafood. It's all just a weird colloquial mess to me.
Phlynch
Cooking just says if a fruit is smol and doesn't need peeling it's a berry.
nymant
I don't know why but I thought of that free game called Doki Doki.. i think it's the Club theme thing going on here.. with these berries..
Xenarion
I didn't even know there was a special definition for "berry", beyond "tiny fruit"
PoorSucker
First rule of berry club.

The gardener for a museum once told me that a strawberry is closer to a nut than a berry... I don't know the validity of that
isaidsomethingcool
It'd be funny if someone made a banana berry blast smoothie and it was just a banana shake

Could you repeat the question? You're not the boss of me now! And you're not so big!
Gorapora
This just in: culinary terms and botanical terms are different. For example, biologically, literally plants are 'vegetable'

joshdechambeau
I heard that tomato is a fruit!
Il1kepuns
Isn't the banana plant a herb?
brokenLS1
Yes, and also a damn weed. The "roots" are a giant radish-like mass and it spreads underground to ruin landscaping.
rotzverpopelt
Strange times!
MeekrabJones
Pretty much. Banana leaves are used in cooking to add a specific aroma/flavor to a dish.
Jeeveswife
I saw them in Costa Rica, they grow on trees, so seems unlikely they are herbs...
FjordFiskursson
Are the "trees" woody?
Trankia12
Pentacus
Iirc the plant is a herb because it has a fleshy stem, but the banana itself is a berry since it's seeds are inside a single mass
ILikePugandFrenchiePictures
Are pawpaw berries?
dunkum09
probably, yea.
kurash
I asked that same question last time this was up. Got lectured about the plant being an herb and the fruit being berries or something.
BrdCdn
I'm convinced biologists are just fucking with us at this point.
Fruitypuffjr
We usually are.
DiceyBusiness
Behold, a man!
SpoilsburyToastMan
That makes sense. Raspberry leaves are often used as a herb. And yes, I know...
etcnotect
Being herbaceous means that they don't have any woody stems above ground

captainfakeypants
Peanuts are not actually nuts, either. And before you get complacent, neither are cashew nuts and Macademia nuts.
waxwingslain
At this point, surely the definition of Berry is wrong if the traditional berries don’t fit the classification.
afatrollofmyown
Strawberry coulda stayed in the club if he focused on the Naming and Cultural side, and rejected botanical evidence.

WhatTheDormouseSaid
How do you tell how heavy a chill pepper is?
SpoilsburyToastMan
Have you ever heard of scales? No? That's why your entire family look like small planets (if they do).
WhatTheDormouseSaid
Give it a weigh, give it a weigh, give it a weigh now.

What do you call it when a chill pepper is yelling at you.

Wait, categorizing foot based on something as benign as seed placement is dumb? Who ever could have predicted this?
SpeedBeetle
I think categorizing organisms by physical traits is normal
beenpostingsince
Yes. Indeed. *gazes at millennia of religious dietary restrictions* How could anyone ever classify food as anything, really...

At this point I’m ready to believe that whales are actually nuts.

If birds are dinosaurs, shouldn't tetrapoda, including the whales, be fish?

No.
Pathojay
Whales are deer
IamtheJubster
Wales eat moose.
astrangehop
Ugh. you're probably right.
Pathojay
I wish I was joking
donkeymoney
I think whales are more important. So deer are whales.
Pathojay
You're right and you should say it

Pls explain
astrangehop
Whales evolved from a fatty deer like creature.

Nuts? No way. CASHEW see the truth?
dunkum09
Cashews are technically not nuts. I'm afraid we'll have to revoke your pun license.
RTK4740
This is outrageous! Why, I’ll go above your head to your boss, “P!” If anyone can reinstate my pun license, pecan.
