The other side of this coin is that the banana is the largest herb; the banana tree is the tallest plant that doesn't produce wood

Of course mixing up culinary and botany meanings deliberately is dumb and leads to people saying things like "a tomato is a fruit" and "a strawberry isn't a berry" those people can go produce their own wood if you know what I mean
