Fruit Vegetables

You've heard the saying that a tomato is really a fruit...well, it's true.
The rest of these are also fruits.  Botanically speaking, it's anything with a seed in it.

These are also all vegetables.  Without getting too deep, the word vegetable is a culinary term, not a botanical one.  If you're cooking they are vegetables, if you're classifying plants they are fruits.  I'm sure I've over simplified this for the botanists out there, but hopefully you get the general idea.  You can find the print here.

Avocado

The word avocado never entered my mind until I tasted guacamole made by my in-law's neighbor many years ago. Now I consider guacamole green gold in the food world. Thanks goodness for the avocado.
