Yeah I always assumed “bug” was like “vegetable” — it’s a colloquial, not taxonomic, term. But there are “true bugs” so maybe the analogy isn’t completely sound.
(And tomato is absolutely a vegetable.)
They’re culinary vegetables. My wife likes to say it like this: intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing that it doesn’t go in a fruit salad.
I always love the “explaining dnd stats with a tomato” bit:
Strength is being able to throw a tomato really far.
Dexterity is being able to catch the tomato thrown really far.
Constitution is being fine after eating a bad tomato.
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing a tomato doesn’t go in fruit salad.
Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.
Also, obligatory “salsa is tomato in a fruit salad”.
You wouldn’t say that if you ever tried those tomatoes https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2021/01/17/culture/foodTravel/tomango-tomato/20210117130800678.html
I’d even call them candy.
