Imagine this: you are a young business-person strolling throgh the smoky alleys of a city when you come to an exotic fruit market, hidden well among the winding labyrinth-like walls. You spot a fruit understepped by the likes of the magnificent Dragonfruit and the abundant watermelon sitting on a stool, and your heart reaches out far more than any other fruit combined. You may be persecuted for your unwieldy taste for this fruit, but just a small sample could lighten your day and make the burden of life that much more bearable.

Maybe you like green apples. Maybe you like sultanas. Maybe you prefer even the ever-rare slightly-green banana. Whatever underrated organic foodstuff you enjoy, you can feel free to speak about it here at S.T.U.F: where you are always surrounded by a steady network of unerstanding friends who Stand Together for Underrated Fruit.

Bam.

Botanically speaking, corn is a caryopsis, or dry fruit — popularly known as a grain.

Would a sultana be considered a fruit or a fruit derivative? It's another form of grapes with less moisture essentially, and there's no way to grow sultanas - they can be created only by hand/artificial means.

For something that's the epitome of "red", they taste amazingly green.

I've been told it combines the entire food pyramid.

I like to keep my audience riveted.

Any food that is not the most basic form can take up more than one food group.

No, tomato is a fruit. Therefore pizza.

I've been told it combines the entire food pyramid.

The bread covers pasta/bread. The cheese covers dairy. The various toppings tend to cover the rest.

The "pizza is a vegetable" thing pertains to a law in the US. Therefore, you were talking about laws in the US. QED.

So, pizza in the US is a vegetable pie, and pizza in the rest of the world is a fruit pie.

I got a nice, big 1 kilogram bag of sultanas on July the 4th. I finished the last of them today.

And my sultana hunger has still not been satisfied.
