/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>>11141857
A vegetable is a part of a plant that can be used as food. This means all starches and fruits are also vegetables. The term is meaningless with such a broad definition. That's why people don't call rice or wheat a vegetable

>>11141863
oh..

>>11141863
is pizza a vegetables

>>11141857
rice is a grain, just like oats, barley or rye you numbnut. Technically, zucchinis are fruits but we dont call them that because this is /ck/, not /sci/

...the fucking state of/ck/ Jesus.

What's next? Ranch is a super food and tomato soup is best snorted through a silly straw?

>>11141930
Yes, because it has tomato sauce.

>>11141857
Grains are dry fruits

How do I store leftover rice without it becoming disgusting, /ck/? Whether it's for reheating or not.

>>11141857
Wow I hope this is a joke and you aren't seriously this retarded

Bread confirmed vegetable.

>>11141930
Yes, because it has pineapples.

There are NO vegetables.
There are:
grains
tubers
leafs
berries (pizza)
and so on

>>11141857
A vegetable is the VEGETATIVE part of the plant; roots, shoots, leaves, anything that isn't the seed or a fruit.

Rice is seeds. We loosely classify these based on their botanical appearance as things like nuts, grains, beans, etc. By stretching definitions across botanical, culinary, and layman's terms, green beans are a fruit, a seed, and a vegetable all at the same time. But from a culinary standpoint, rice is no vegetable.

>>11141857
No you idiot, rice isn't even an ingredient in V8. Try looking shit up before making ridiculous claims next time.

>>11142710
So v8 is the standard for what a vegetable is? You're a fucking vegetable.

>>11142689

flowers are vegetables

>>11142689
Ok dude. Thanks for clearing that up.

>>11142176
in a zip lock bag

>>11142743
What the fuck did you think the V in V8 stood for, poultry?

>>11142780
it obviously dont include all vegetables. you should be listed on the can.

>>11142785
it includes all 8
thats why they call it v8

>>11142761
In the fridge or freezer? And is there anything reusable I can use to store it? I make rice quite often and my rice cooker only takes a minimum half-cup at a time (which turns to a cooked cup).

>>11142810
theres absolutely more than 8 vegetables you trolling cunt

>>11141857
Lets cut the bullshit. Cucumber is a drink. It may also be 5% vegetable, whatever.

>>11142866
Tomato is a fruit
Lettuce and red cabbage are just leaves
Mushrooms are fungus
Mint? Are you even trying?
You're trolling all of us

>>11142750
Flowers are part of the fruit.
Idiot.

>>11142866
>mushroom
>vegetable

>>11142908
I like cucumbers because of how flavorless they are. They taste like a crunchy sack of water. The most refreshing vegetable on a hot summer night.

>>11142822
just throw it in the fridge, after that you have two options, either add water to the rice and use a steamer to heat it back up, or use the leftover rice to make fried rice

>>11142009
>Technically, zucchinis are fruits

So are tomatoes, but we use them as if they were vegetables.

Oh, and avocados. Also a fruit.

>>11142018
don't reveal the contents of my next book!

“vegetable” is purely a culinary term, mangoman; normally, it just refers to produce employed in savory dishes, but not exclusively. “Fruit,” a botanical AND culinary term, however, is the fruiting body of a plant, bot not necessarily edible.

>>11141857
i know rice is a shit, for sure

>>11141857
*veggie

>>11142959
The flowers fall off before the fruit is formed idiot.
The flowers are just there to attract pollinators.

>>11142971
Mushrooms are the fruiting bodies from mycelium.
Mushrooms are a fruit.

>>11143941
Certainly not true for many 'fruits'. An apple for example isn't a fruit, but an engorged receptacle, which is part of the inflorescence. The fruit of an apple tree are the seeds inside the apple.

You probably think a flower consist only of the sepals and petals. True fruits are derived from the ovary, which is part of the inflorescence. An inflorescence is not a vegetative part of the plant.

>>11142018
Come on, don't be like that. This belongs to one of the better and more ontopic posts this board has these days..

Explain broccoli

>>11143968
Mutatded inflorescences served on the stem. Both fruit and vegetable, same as cauliflower.

>>11143970
So fruits are vegetables

>>11141857
i dont give a shit ill still eat rice faster than i eat pussy shits good

>>11143968
brocoli is gay

>>11143973
No. Grapes are a fruit, grape leaves are a vegetable. If I use both in a dish the fruits don't magically become vegetables. The flowers of broccoli and cauliflower are fruits, the stems from which these grow are vegetables. Usually you eat both at the same time. This changes nothing about the nature of vegetables and fruits.

>>11143979
So you don't eat rice?

mushrooms are vegetables.

even though they're not even plants.

>>11143944
>Mushrooms are a fruit.
>mushrooms are vegetables.

Mushrooms are basidiocarps.

>>11144053
no, the mycelium is a vegetable.
The mushrooms are fruit.

white rice is junk food, same as pasta and bread.

>>11144053
>>11144176
Mushrooms are closer to animals than to plants, genetically. Would you say eggs are fruit and meat is a vegetable? Mushrooms are basidiocarps.

>>11143282
oh is that so. thank you anon.
