hangingfire: copperbadge: ebonyheartnet: theshitpostcalligrapher: req’d by @hpdmmdundtl i still maintain that it’s a jam @copperbadge okay so wait. Would ketchup be a jelly? I believe it could be considered a pickle, since vinegar and sugar are involved. :D (The whole “tomato is a fruit” thing is part of an ongoing discourse about how we don’t actually have hard classifications for fruits and vegetables and tend to classify them on culinary rather than botanical lines. If you try to look up what a vegetable actually IS you go down a real deep rabbit hole real fast.) My fellow GenXers will remember when the Reagan administration tried to designate condiments (including potentially ketchup) as a vegetable. Among the recommendations made by the Food and Nutrition Service’s September 3, 1981 Regulations was a proposal to give local school lunch administrators flexibility in accrediting substitute food items that met FNS nutritional requirements and regulations. The report stated an item could not be counted as a bread that was not enriched or whole-grain, “but could credit a condiment such as pickle relish as a vegetable.” -- source link
