I was given this one once, but my response was cucumber.
I like eating cucumbers.

Now I want a cucumber again. Fresh, juicy cucumber.

Vegetable is a culinary term, not a botanical one. Many vegetables are also fruits.

Believe it or not, not a berry.

Actually berries, and therefore fruit!

Oh thank God. Coffee is also a berry.
