Is it fruit or is it veg

[RSJK]

Hello all,
             A question for you all about Rhubarb, is it a fruit or is it a vegetable.
                  ::)

[redimp]

It does not satisfy the definition for fruit - i.e. carrying seeds so therefore it is a vegetable.

[kitty]

its a pudding.

[Robert_Brenchley]

It's technically a vegetable but it's often treated as though it was a fruit, doubtless because it's used for pudding, which is more of a fruit 'thing'.

[wivvles]

Who cares - I love it either way!!!

[BAGGY]

It's a weapon if you use it how my neice and nephew were at the weekend - trying to thrash each other with the leaf end !!  Screaching with laughter and sillyness.  Strange family us ... :P

[Svea]

LOL you two ;D

rhubarb be a vegetable - as you are noit eating the 'fruit' part of the plant (has anyone ever seen the fruit of a rhubarb?)

knowledge: knowing that a tomato is a fruit
wisdom: knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
