    There’s no such thing as a culinary vegetable.

        Strip your Ms from your wikipedia links before you share them please. Also this article is garbage. It doesn’t cite any sources for its core ideas. The only 4 references are descriptions of particular plants. There’s no citations in the introduction.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptids

        Here’s the wikipedia page for list of cryptids. This page is better cited and has more evidence for what it says than your page. Does that mean cryptids are real? No, cryptids are fictional just like culinary vegetables.

            We interact with botanical vegetables every day. We don’t interact with culinary vegetables, because there’s no such thing.

              Posting this link again because you didn’t read it.

              Culinary vegetables unarguably exist since we’re referring to a physical thing which indisputably exists. I have seen a courgette before, I can confirm vegetables do in fact exist. You’re arguing that they don’t exist because you disagree with the words used to refer to them, which is also wrong. The fact many people use the culinary definition of vegetable when referring to courgettes means that the culinary definition of vegetable is correct; language is defined by how it’s used.

              Vegetables exist. The culinary definition of vegetable also exists. The fact you don’t like that definition is irrelevant.

                A courgette isn’t a culinary vegetable.

                I might as well argue I have direct physical evidence that Bigfoot exists, because my friend Steve has big feet so he’s clearly a sasquatch.
