Fruit of the pig!
Some fruits and vegetables ripen off the plant, some don't.
Bananas have seeds in them, they've just been bred so that the seeds are small and not noticeable or functional. Check out a wild banana with normal seeds

That's so cool!
Thank you to whoever bumped this topic. I'm going to be using "fruit of the pig" all day.
Omfg that's CLASSIC!
Chicken, turkey & tofu bacons are neither fruits nor vegetables - they are an abomination against God.
Gives me a good excuse to post my favorite new BBQ bacon dish: behold, the moink ball:

Well put sir, spot on
It's a fruit, damn it. And more specifically a berry. Science prevails above stupid made-up crap like "vegetables".
Look up on Google and read up on the history of *why* a tomato is considered a "vegetable" instead of a "fruit" in the first place. Hint: It involves the government wanting to tax it. So I avoid the term "vegetable" at all costs, because to me it means absolutely nothing. If it's got seeds and it comes from a plant... it's a fruit.
Hey, I don't like Granny Smith apples (or apples in general), and I find them less "sweet" than some of the peppers that I eat. Does that mean that I can just go calling Apples "vegetables" now? In fact, I can't stand apples unless they are sweetened and in apple pie. I bet a lot of people would revolt over the thought.
I also avoid calling onions and garlic vegetables, preferring to call them bulbs (as they are) or spices. But certain other edible plant-based parts are more difficult to classify.

To get technical on the berries... Some berries are actually clusters of multiple fruits (e.g., blackberry, raspberry).
So by this rational you would consider the pine-cone a fruit???
You could sweeten that up all you like and put that in a pie but I would still refuse to call it a fruit
