Fun facts, in French vegetables are called "legumes", even though most of them aren't related to the Fabaceae family

I'm so glad that this problem isn't just limited to English.

Spanish doesn't have a word for nuts, they just say "dried fruit".

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

What do they call actual dried fruit?

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 1 points 2 weeks ago

I mean they're not really that different, right?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, I'd say they're really different.

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 1 points 2 weeks ago

Haha me too... I mean a coconut is not really 'dry'?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

Coconuts aren't nuts, despite the name.

Would anyone actually use the term Soupe aux légumineuses or just be direct about what's in it?
