Cornbread technically a fruitcake?

Corn fritters belong in the doughnut cabinet with apple fritters?

I'm pretty sure that botanically speaking all or most vegetables are fruits. Vegetable is a culinary term not a botanical term.

Too lazy to look it up now but "fruit" is the part of the plant that carries the seed, and we do eat a lot of those. Leafy food like spinach isn't fruit, but things like gourds are.

But also some “fruits” are not fruits, like strawberries.

Strawberries are fruit, but they are not berries.

The fruits are the “seeds” on the surface. The “fruit” we think of is a pseudo fruit formed from the flower receptacle.
