“An olive is a veggie, isnt it?”
Actually, an olive is a fruit.
(Vegetables don’t grow on trees)
Avocados and tomatoes are also fruits. Corn is a grain.

Education is knowing that a tomato is a fruit; wisdom is knowing not to put one in a fruit salad. :=)

Don’t be tiresome.
The words “fruit” and “vegetable” are used differently in botany and in the culinary arts.
In the culinary arts, olives, avocados, tomatoes, zucchini, all other squashes, are vegetables because they are more apt for use in savory dishes. A bowl of mixed chopped tomatoes, sliced zucchini and black olives is *not* a fruit salad.
