Bananas are a Berry too
Eggplant, zucchini and cucumber are fruits, not veggies
And go and see how just about every other language pronounces pineapple
I don’t care what anyone says, a Banana is a fruit, Tomato, Eggplant, Zucchini and cucumber are all vegetables. I won’t ever accept anything different.

Aren’t all fruits technically flowers?
From memory, not all flowers are fruit. but all fruit are the mature, swollen ovaries of flowers.
So yes, I guess so.
In this instance, I guess a caper is more of an unopened flower bud, rather than the final form of a flower then a fruit…

No.
They are the result of flowers getting fertilized and the resulting “embryos” developing. (Yes, that’s right: flowers are the sexual organs of plants. Even prudish people love looking at and even sniffing them).
Some non-flowering plants have “fruiting bodies” but that is too technical to go into here.

I don’t mind a little pedantry but what I said still sounds technically accurate.
In the same way that all people are technically sperm, although the reverse is not true.
Edit: in before spermatozoon
TIL I can paint ok, as in my daughters room whilst drinking vodka straight, I’m quite happy at the moment

For when you just can’t be shagged any more…
I do everything awesomely when I’m drunk, it’s just when I sober up that I realise that I don’t.

There’s an important lesson here.
