Fruits or Vegetables?

[Monkeysnow55 The Cookie]

Which do you prefer? Fruits or Vegetables? For me it's fruits, I don't like many vegetables...But I like bananas, apples. grapes, all that kind of stuff. Strawberries are probably my favorite, or apples...What do you like?

I like fruits over vegetables alone. But steamed broccoli in an Alfredo pasta? Or mashed potatoes with turkey/chicken? Forget it; it's amazing!

So yeah. By themselves, fruits are better. But vegetables make excellent sides and compliment other foods marvelously~

Fruit generally. But I'll take some baby carrots any day of the week.

 

[AcosmicDevi]

Fruits definitely, although I do like to eat cucumbers raw. My favorite are giant oranges and large globe grapes.

 

[Indinera]

Veggies for me.

If we talk botanically, mostly fruit, but if we switch to culinary definitions, then a mix.

I love a lot of berries, especially blueberries and blackberries, granny smith apples, pears, peaches.

On the other side, I love hot peppers. Also fried okra. And potatoes. And corn. And man, without corn, we couldn't have tamales, and tamales are the best.

 

[Seacliff]

I like tomatoes... so I'm not sure.

 

[Engr. Adiktuzmiko]

As much as I'm not a fruit/vegetable eater, I do prefer fruits. They're more tasty than vegetables

When I was little, mashed potatoes, carrots and corn weren't vegetables. Onions, tomatoes, asparagus and squash were. "Eat all your vegetables" translated to "eat all of the things on your plate you don't like."

That's besides the point. I prefer meat. I also like apples. Because applewood smoked bacon. Yes, I'm a cannibal.

I don't like smoothies very much, and I don't like berries, but I do like (honeycrisp) apples, bananas and grapes.

In general I would say fruit, but like TouchFuzzy mentioned it gets complicated when you go culinary vs. botanical.  I like most fruits, not super fond of bananas but they're okay. I love zucchini which I hated as a kid but now I can't get enough of it.  Green beans and broccoli are good too.  I don't like raw tomato or onion, but cooked into things they are fine.  On the other hand I prefer my carrots raw, unless in a soup or something.  Just cooked carrots, no go for me.

But them lima beans take the cake...nasty! Okay, they're a legume...but growing up they were lumped in with the veggies!

If I was forced to choose...   fruits.  (I love raspberries.)

 

[ThatChillingLittleKiddo]

Fruit, apples! 

 

[Zeriab]

Depends on my mood, time of day and what else I'm eating.

 

[nio kasgami]

Me i love fruittttss x3

 

[Simon D. Aelsi]

I like both! 

But, for the sake of conversation I'll say "Fruits".  Some of my favorite fruits are--get ready now--

Tomatoes, Chili Peppers, Avocados, Cucumbers and Bell Peppers.   Yup.  BOTANICALLY they're all fruits.   Bwahahahaha. (They ARE.)

Okay, okay. I get it... SWEET fruits.  Pineapple, Grape, Guava, Cherry.  Also Avocado..... What? Don't look at me that way!! They make really good milk shakes, believe it or not.

I didn't used to like lima beans but then my mom made them with cooked sausage which gave them a tasty flavor. Now I love them, but only when she makes them.

I like them all. I have a degree in horticulture and get into long winded conversations about how there is no such botanical thing as a vegetable. There are roots, stems, leaves, ect which are actually what we're eating. Also, did you know potatoes are actually stems and not roots? 

The only thing I really dislike is cabbage, and I have to be super specific and take it a step further, but reheated cabbage. The smell of refrigerated (and already cooked) brassica vegetables makes me gag. But I'll eat them if they're just prepared.

My favorites are raw broccoli, carrots, green beans, snap peas, tomatoes, raspberries, grapefruit, pears, and bananas.

 

[CWells]

I'll take both. I just want to learn to cook certain vegetables better. I'm great with carrots and potatoes. But I wanna do more eggplant stuff.

Veggies, because I sadly can't eat most fruits without them creating an allergic reaction in my throat.

If I could eat fruit normally, then definitely fruit.
