RE: Are You Happy?

would a lovely acorn squash smothered in brown sugar and butter baked at
350 degrees for about 45 minutes qualify as a fruit or vegetable?  its
sweet but it has seeds and flowers.  without the brown sugar it just
tastes like an ordinary squash.

sincerely,

jtflash

Hi, Duncan!
Tomato...I grow it every year, and always am pleased with at least some of
the varieties...once I grew a tomato (Beefsteak) that was over five pounds,
and it, and a few of its lesser fellows were EXCELLENT cored, then drizzled
with a little olive oil, a sprinkling of minced garlic, a little basil, and
fresh bread crumbs, baked at 400 degrees 'til lightly browned and
sizzling!!! Serve with crunchy bread, cheese (goat?) and a cold drink for an
wonderful summer lunch! So here's how I'd vote, according to success in my
garden:

Tomato
Zucchini
Asparagus
Potato
Carrots (we have horses)
Peas/pods
Beans
Corn...difficult here because of raccoons, the thieves!

Sorry, couldn't stop at 5, but these are in order, so my top 5 are the first
five. 
A tomato may be a fruit because it has seeds...but then what about corn,
peas and beans, cukes, the squashes...?
	Here's what my abridged dictionary says: any plant that is eaten
whole or in part, raw or cooked, generally with an entree or in a salad, but
not for dessert, as the tomato, potato, lettuce, cucumber, cabbage, etc.
