I love playing around with recipes so have indeed made broc and carrot sauces, but this is kind of all about what feels right to say. And I think that there’s a lot of cases where it feels wrong to describe tomato as a vegetable. Kind of how I’d feel odd calling lettuce a vegetable.
Okay but if someone offered me a pizza with broccoli or carrot sauce I’d have to politely, but firmly refuse
Your definition of vegetable is “cannot be used as base for pizza sauce”? Oddly specific.
Not sure where I said that, I was referring to nachorella’s comment up thread. If you want to know my definition, it’s pretty much aligned with the science definition. Fruits: the parts of the plant containing seeds (with the exception of pods). Vegetables: the rest of the plant (including pods)
