I did mention raw carrot (it's clearly the king of the raw vegetables) but I'm a little bemused at its lack of support. -

Steaming or raw is the way to go with veggies
There's nothing finer than a raw carrot!
Always loved raw carrots but it took decades before I found a love of cooked carrots....roasted, of course!

I didn't have a roasted carrot until I was about 25. Now, I can't get enough!
Tonight's vegetable was potato... chipped. Served with beans (baked) and pork, honey and mustard sausages. Delicious! -

Lots of them! Depends on what's done with it. Carrots score high because it's impossible to screw up with them. Stir fry or steam veggies, add garam masala. Eat. Experience heaven!
Other favorites are unripe jackfruit, koorka (chinese potato), raw plantains...
South Indian food is full of these! -

Used as a vegetable, tastes like a vegetable... might as well be a vegetable. But still a fruit. But you two know that already!

Actually, I rather dislike tomatos.
But I love most everything that has tomatos worked into it.
My true favourite veggies are red and yellow paprikas (peppers/capsicums), raw carrots (excellent stress food! You can really gnaw them aggessively
) and rocket leaf.
From the Indonesian cuisine I'd also add the most magnificent, very strong-tastting peteh beans.
Once eaten, you'll taste them for three days more, but it's so worth it!
Getting hungry just thinking about it.

Tomato is scientifically a fruit, but used as an everyday vegetable is more accurate IMO.

Sigh.
Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example. As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The tomato, though technically a fruit, is often used as a vegetable, and a bean pod is also technically a fruit. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example. So a tomato is the fruit of the tomato plant, but can be used as a vegetable in cooking.
Anyway,
Actually, I rather dislike tomatos.
But I love most everything that has tomatos worked into it.
My true favourite veggies are red and yellow paprikas (peppers/capsicums), raw carrots (excellent stress food! You can really gnaw them aggessively) and rocket leaf.
