    I prefer polysemy. There is a very useful category of “edible plants typically used in savory dishes”. Imagine someone being upset with you because you brought green beans when they asked for a side of vegetables.

    I don’t see the point in taking the botanical definition of fruit and pretending it’s useful in the culinary world.
