My wife and I like to joke that vegetables aren't real and all of them are just something else in reality.

You're correct! "Vegetable" is a culinary term. "Fruit" is both botanical and culinary. The "tomato isn't a fruit" nonsense comes from people trying to conflate the two; if we called botanical fruits "grunkles" we wouldn't have this problem.

All in favor of renaming botanical fruits to "gruntled"?

Aye

Edit: God damn you, autocorrect
