Aren't slide shows vegetables?

They are all being silly, vegetables can't be sweet. Some of those would be servings of fruit.

Our fate was quietly predicted with uncanny accuracy in a 2006 box office flop.

WE JUST DIDN'T LISTEN!!

No, just their creators (and viewers)

That slideshow made me realize that since vodak comes from potatoes it's okay to give it to kids every day.
 
2011-11-20 10:22:38 PM
that slideshow raped my computer. I saw "carrot cake" and "bimbo". What were the rest?

I'm not sure if I'd want to eat her. I mean, I don't know how thorough her caretakers cleaned her, and so who knows what sort of yeasts would have built up.

2011-11-20 10:23:37 PM
well, that was kind of stupid and wasn't funny either.

Oh wait, it was Huffington Post slideshow. That's built-in fail, right there. What did i expect?

No one is saying that pizza is a vegetable. They're saying pizza sauce is. One pizza slice is probably a half serving of vegetables with a full serving each of dairy and starch.
 
2011-11-20 10:25:13 PM
Hops are a vegetable so I guess that makes beer a vegetable. Yahhhh!

Didn't we go through this under the Reagan administration when they declared ketchup a vegetable?

Tomatoes are actually fruits anyway, that's why they have seeds.

Animal, vegetable, or mineral?

GentDirkly: No one is saying that pizza is a vegetable. They're saying pizza sauce is. One pizza slice is probably a half serving of vegetables with a full serving each of dairy and starch.

Which is incredibly incorrect, unless they consider the scattered herbs and spices to be the parts that make pizza sauce a vegetable.

That was dumb, and this whole thing has been blown out of proportion.

Gwyrddu: Tomatoes are actually fruits anyway, that's why they have seeds.

So do peppers and cucumbers but we call them vegetables anyway because it isn't a botanical definition.

List fails without Snickers Bars. They contain peanuts, therefore they are a vegetable. My diet starts tomorrow.

I wonder if I tell my bosses if vodka is a veggie will stop them from drinking?

The food items were carrot cake, candy corn, funyuns, and vodak. Also garnish, but that's not really a food. But if pizza topping can be a vegetable, I suppose these qualify also.

Vegetables isn't a scientific term and many fruiting bodies of plants are considered vegetables. Strawberries are considered fruits, but aren't "true fruits". And many things considered nuts and vegetables are true fruits.

Culinary and biological classifications are different, so tomatoes can be both.
 
2011-11-20 10:36:29 PM
Tomatos are fruits. But are now vegetables. Change were are all forced to believe in. Who votes for these people anyways?
 
2011-11-20 10:37:02 PM
Whats the problem?

Crust = Bread group

Cheese = Milk group

Tomato sauce + Green peppers = Vegetable group

Pepperoni and Sausage = Meat group

Pizza is the perfect food.

HairBolus: Hops are a vegetable so I guess that makes beer a vegetable. Yahhhh!

Think it classifies under the bread and grains section. I may go vegan now that pizza and beer are considered veggies.

Fruits are defined as being derived from the seed-production parts of a plant (the ovaries). 'Vegetables' are not based upon scientific terminology and are understood as being derived from the other non-seed-production parts of a plant such as the roots, stems or leaves. We call peppers and cucumbers vegetables because the common parlance and understanding for fruit is limited to bush and tree type plants.

Is Vodka not a vegetable?

Vodka's empty calories, they should take solace in that.

It's called a "slideshow." Feel free to mock subby and TFA's webmin mercilessly, it's kind of what we do around here.

One more time...

Botanically, a tomato is a fruit: the ovary, together with its seeds, of a flowering plant. However, the tomato has a much lower sugar content than other fruits, and is therefore not as sweet. Typically served as part of a salad or main course of a meal, rather than at dessert, it is considered a vegetable for most culinary purposes. One exception is that tomatoes are treated as a fruit in home canning practices: they are acidic enough to be processed in a water bath rather than a pressure cooker as "vegetables" require. Tomatoes are not the only foodstuff with this ambiguity: eggplants, cucumbers, and squashes of all kinds (such as zucchini and pumpkins) are all botanically fruits, yet cooked as vegetables.

I hear some members of Congress eat 'fruit' at least once a week.

/Congressional fruit available through the glory hole. Tap for service.

Vodka and Funyuns. You have my full support.

Get those farking veggies off my pizza, dammit. I want meat, more meat, some cheese, some more meat, and some more cheese on MY pizza. Veggies are for when you have to eat with the in-laws.

Is anything really a vegetable?

Mugato: Terri Schiavo, if you're a cannibal, amirite?

Would that be considered a white pizza?

Tomatoes were declared legally vegetables by the Supreme Court in the 1893 case Nix v Hedden. I wish I was joking.

They changed tomatoes from being a fruit to a vegetable.
So I guess all tomatoes got A.I.D.S.

That means it's two vegetable helpings! Drink more vodka martinis for a healthier lifestyle.

Don't forget Bloody Mary's (lots of tomato juice....plus the pickle)

Seriously, with all the crap hitting the fan right now, our lovely Congresscritters are spending time on this crap?
 
2011-11-20 10:59:36 PM
Just realized I said crap twice......need a beer

4Lolo Fruit Punch should be considered a fruit, since I can't taste the alcohol at all.
