Vegetables and fruits are not real, per se. They are simple categories we made up, but are never simple to define. No definition is perfect and that is because it is not always certain how to define a particular ground-grown food item with the same principles as others. Therefore, it could be based on dietary cultures, beliefs, and other social variables.
In conclusion, vegetables and fruits are simply a construction you follow constructed by the society you live in.

And I oddly find this topic Interesting. :3

Yeah but it’s okay because they violated the non-aggression pact by entering my body without my consent, making them fair game.
WHAT??
You can’t live without killing; just by existing your immune system is committing genocide on millions of microscopic life forms every day.
oh
A salad with just cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkin could prove interesting.
There’s a funny answer for this because cucumbers (and the other foods I brought up earlier like pumpkins and tomatoes) are kinda both in a sense. Botanically they’re considered fruits but culinary they’re considered vegetables.

The old meaning of vegetables referred to all parts of a plant that was edible: flowers, leaves, stems, roots, seeds, and yes even the fruit.
But to quote good ol’ Wikipedia, it delves into the differences between fruits and vegetables a bit:
When you eat a fruit, the plant grows more while when you eat a vegetable you eat the plant itself. If you want more apples then the tree will grow more but if you want more carrots then you have to grow an entirely new carrot.
This is one of the reasons Fruitarians exists. If you want to go the most extreme route of not wanting to kill anything.
That’s my understanding as well.
my understanding is that fruits have seeds in them, veggies do not
What’s the difference between fruits and vegetables, other than the taste we associate them with?
vegetable
You are correct. Knowledge is knowing that cucumbers, tomatoes, and pumpkins are fruits. Wisdom is not putting any of them in a fruit salad.
Ever seen how a cat behaves around a cucumber?
