The following question may be incorrect.

  • Question ID: 1208
  • Question: An eggplant is a vegetable.
  • Answer: False

This relies on the presumption that fruits can not be vegetables, but vegetables are a rather informal culinary class, describing edible plants, including fruits. Multiple encyclopedias refer to eggplants as both, including Britannica, Great Norwegian Encyclopedia (grønnsak), and the Great Danish Encyclopedia (frugtgrønsag, lit. “fruit vegetable”).
