answer, without "googling": cucumber...fruit (or veg)?
My mind is blown and I feel like this is probably shameful.
I want to say veg, but I'm not entirely sure. Is it like a tomato where it seems like a veg, but is actually a fruit?
AM I'M TRIPPING?

Re: answer, without "googling": cucumber...fruit (or veg)?
I googled and found the answer! My hunch that it might be like a tomato and an undercover fruit was correct.
Having an enclosed seed and developing from a flower, botanically speaking, cucumbers are classified as fruits. However, much like tomatoes and squash they are usually perceived, prepared and eaten as vegetables.[1]

I knew this only because Brett is convinced that cucumbers and watermelons are actually two versions of the same plant and it's all just some sort of hoax. What that hoax is trying to accomplish, he hasn't figured out yet.
He has a point though. A cucumber tastes a lot like the part of the watermelon that's really close to the rind.
The nerve!

I disagree with science. Eggplant should be classified as satan's food. Grossy gross gross.

Agreed. All lying liar foods are gross, it seems.

My parents had an enormous cucumber that looked like a watermelon in their garden this weekend, so there could be something to Mr SB's theory.
wait, what makes eggplant a berry? What about beans?
I have a fruit garden?

Artichokes are actually thistle flowers. Tomatoes are from the nightshade family so their leaves and green fruit are mildly poisonous. Squash and melons are also from the same family which might be why they both taste kinda gross to me in a similar way. And apple seeds contain cyanide.

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
Brett is pretty much correct. Cucumbers and watermelons are from the same plant family (that family being Cucurbitaceae, if you must know) - as are squash and canteloupe. They all have very similar growth habits and fruit. Yes, I know this makes me a geek.

You've come to the right place.
Did you study horticulture or do you just enjoy plant geekery?

Technically, I studied weeds (not WEED, weeds), but plants are plants, right? I love plants and I love food so I choose to work in agriculture.
