My significant other ate cucumbers and onion with some ranch. I called it a cucumber onion salad. She says there aren’t enough ingredients to call it a salad, because “it takes multiple ingredients”. I pointed out she had three and asked what the minimum is. She refuses to answer so I ask Lemmy.

        Potatoes come from a plants roots and should be considered a vegetable. And fries are made of potatoes. Therefore I say it’s a salad.

          But not all plant products are vegetables. Take wood, sugar, or coconut oil as examples.

            According to Wikipedia:

            The potato is a starchy food, a tuber of the plant Solanum tuberosum and is a root vegetable native to the Americas.

            They are usually sold with the other vegetables in a supermarket because they are a root vegetable.

            Let’s stop arguing and just enjoy fries instead
