What is this vegetable? (1 Viewer)

A professionally dressed and well-spoken young woman in my local grocery store just walked over to another customer and asked her to identify the vegetable she was holding.

It looked just like this: http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/DM-Resize/photos.demandstudios.com/99/152/fotolia_7353302_XS.jpg?w=442&h=442&keep_ratio=1

Be honest. Who doesn't know what that is?

They're all edible if you really want them to be.

Oh MAN. That'll leave a mark.

I'm pretty sure this one is a vegetable:

I've had cashiers ring them up as cucumbers.

In a culinary context, zucchini is treated as a vegetable; it is usually cooked and presented as a savory dish or accompaniment. Botanically, however, zucchini is a fruit, being the swollen ovary of the zucchiniflower.

Commence swollen ovary jokes.

Kohlrabi?

ETA: Damn.

I assume the customer answered "Mine's bigger."

 

[Godsbrother]

Mine's bigger. I think vegetables can be very sensuous, don't you?

The eggplant emoji gets me every time.

Also a fruit. Damn.

That's what she said.

Zucchini is delicious when battered and fried in butter, but then again, so is almost anything.

I consider myself a pretty open-minded kind of guy. You can tell me that Pluto's not a planet anymore, and that's fine. I'm cool with that. I'm cool with brontosauruses being apatosauruses now. Doesn't bother me.

But one thing I will never, ever accept, no matter how many highfalutin scientists insist that it's right, is that tomatoes and zucchinis and eggplants are fruits. You get right the #### out of here with that bullcrap.
