1	In the name of sportsmanship, let"s consider one more way to look at fruits and vegetables.
2	"according to l.h.
3	Bailey, a vegetable is in horticultural usage, an edible herbaceous plant or part thereof that is commonly used for culinary purposes.
4	In common usage, the fruits of the tomato, cucumber, squash, etc., are considered as vegetables, grown with other vegetables in the home garden, although of course each one is a seed bearing organ and hence, under strict usage of the language, might be considered a fruit." it is also as popularaly understodd, any plant cultivated for its edible parts.
5	This loose definition includes roots (beet and carrot), tubers (potato), stems (celery), leaves (lettuce), flower buds and heads (cauliflower), fruits (tomato), and seeds (peas, beans, corn).
6	Looking back to the list, we can easily slip into familiar habits: artichoke, asparagus, avocado, bean, beet, broccoli, brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrot, cauliflower, celery, corn, cucumber, eggplant, lettuce, onion, parsnip, pea, pepper, potato, radish, squash, and tomato are vegetables, all the others are fruits.
7	In other words, if you call it a vegetable, and your neighbour calls it a vegetable, and your local grocer calls it a vegetable, then it must be a vegetable.
8	You like the sound of this? fine with us.
9	And, deep in our hearts, we suspect that"s the best way to play, according to hoyle.
