    Considering your username I give you a pass, but still:

    There have been many debates about the differentiation between vegetables and fruits. Genetic testing has mostly revealed it to be a human made distinction without any biological basis.

    But I think your comment is the first time I see somebody trying to argue that pasta are vegetables.

      I did not argue that. I was just pointing out a funny edge case in the previous poster’s argument.

      That said, even actual vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, or potatoes are often boiled in water without the intention of making soup.
