I don't eat anything green....

Do you know the difference between a fruit and a vegetable?  Lots of people don't it seems.  So - if it's got seeds, it's a fruit, simple as that.  Problem is that we tend to use the words differently when it comes to cooking and eating.  Tomatoes and cucumbers for instance are treated as vegetables for culinary purposes, even though they have seeds and are therefore fruits.  Interesting question which came up the other day is, what about peas?  The answer I think is that an unopened peapod is a fruit, but the peas themselves are neither - they are seeds, like peppercorns or rice.
