Question to a quiz contestant worth £20,000 . The contestant answered 'vegetable' and lost her money! Quince - Fruit or Vegetable? A tomato's a vegetable and also a fruit, A carrot is a vegetable and also a root, A cauliflower's a flower and also a veg - All are vegetables, and so is my hedge. No, I can't eat my hedge. But, it's still a veg. 'Tatoes and cherries, savoury or sweet, Chestnuts and parsnips and sugar beet, Blackberries and guavas are good to eat, Mustard and peppers, oats and wheat, And mushrooms and truffles - Oh what a treat! So, I'll make my point without hesitation: All these things are vegetation - Edible flowers, green leaves and roots, Berries and nuts - all are vegetable, Though some aren't fruits! And now, dear friends, the very big question: "For twenty grand, love, give me a label - A quince is - A fruit or a vegetable?
