Lettuce - Vegetable?

[Aruffell]

Me and the mrs are having an argument about lettuce, yes we lead such an exciting life.

I'm saying it's a vegetable and it even comes under the list of vegetables on wikipedia so i must be wrong

She says it's a salad, and then said it was a salad vegetable.

To me a salad is something that comprises of vegetables, a salad is the overall result, and a lettuce for instance, is a vegetable.

What are your thoughts?

It's not meat, it's not poultry, it's not fish, it's not cereal, it's vegetable. Salad is a dish not a food type.

I'd agree with this

 

[Streeteh]

That's like saying steak is not meat.

Lettuce is a vegetable. Now go and gloat; it's not often a woman says something so totally incorrect without some form of way out, bask in the glory.

Your having an arguement with a women,Either accept defeat or no sex for a month

 

[Hodders]

It's like saying a cat is not an animal as it is a mammal.

A cereal like wheat is just part of a vegetable. A lettuce is a vegetable - full stop.

Stick to your guns mate - even if it means no sex for a month

 

[Nitefly]

Yes, it is a vegetable.

Is fish a meat? *runs from the swarm of self-righteous 'vegetarians'*

Just point out to her that there are many types of salads, eg. Pasta Salad, Potato Salad, Fruit Salad, Spicey Bean Salad etc. and that after all she is just a woman and biologically they have tiny brains and are incapable of coherrant thought!

 

[A.N.Other]

It's a vegetable. As above, salad is a food type, not a foodstuff.

 

[Hodders]

Tell her to calm down and think about kittens and embroidery. (don't actually do this as you may well never have sex again).

 

[Streeteh]

I'd love to hear her reaction to bringing a fruit salad into the argument. Would that make melon a salad fruit?

 

[Cosimo]

It is a leaf vegetable from the Asteraceae family.

Is your girlfriend retarded? Just slap her in the face for me! Who doesn't know that a lettuce is a veg?? I mean seriously...

 

[Aruffell]

Even though you all agree with me, she still says she's right and all of you and myself are wrong.

Women, eh?

Tell your girlfriend that she is a vegetable. She can't argue with that.

Tell her that Tomatoes are fruits. That'll really confuse her.

 

[arknor]
