 Vegetable is a culinary term (not botanical) to describe any part of a plant that is usually food for humans, and is not a nut, fruit, grain, herb or spice.
Vegetables include the flowering part of a plant, like broccoli; roots like carrots; stems like asparagus & rhubarb; leaves like lettuce; botanical fruits like tomatoes, pumpkins, & green beans; and immature seeds like peas and beans.
Vegetarians are people who do not, or prefer not to, eat meat. The Hunzas, with an exclusively vegetarian diet, usually live to be over a 100 years old. A famous vegetarian is Albert Schweitzer.
• “I used to visit and revisit it a dozen times a day, and stand in deep contemplation over my vegetable progeny with a love that nobody could share or conceive of who had never taken part in the process of creation. It was one of the most bewitching sights in the world to observe a hill of beans thrusting aside the soil, or a row of early peas just peeping forth sufficiently to trace a line of delicate green.” ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mosses from and Old Manse
• “I doubt that the imagination can be suppressed. If you truly eradicated it in a child, he would grow up to be an eggplant.” ~ Ursula Le Guin
• “In the night the cabbages catch at the moon, the leaves drip silver, the rows of cabbages are a series of little silver waterfalls in the moon.” ~ Carl Sandburg
• “I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens.” ~ Isaac Bashevis Singer
• “Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself?” ~ Henry David Thoreau

Potatoes are a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). Potatoes have become an integral part of much of the world's cuisine and are the world's fourth-largest food crop, following rice, wheat, and maize.
The first European to see the potato, a plant native to Peru and cultivated there for 7,000 years, was Pedro de Cieza de Leon (1518–1560) Spanish Conquistador and historian, in 1540. The potato was introduced to Europe circa 1570, and Sir Walter Raleigh brought the potato, a food that was considered fit only for the poor, to Ireland in 1589.
Antoine Parmentier also advocated for the potato, eventually getting the French to legalize potatoes.
The 1845-1848 potato famine in Ireland would have been a fresh memory to Europeans in Vincent van Gogh's time.
A riddle -
“Why do potatoes make good detectives?” Because they keep their eyes peeled.
Name some common 'taters (commentators) ... (the first time I heard this involved Huntley and Brinkley). - then there are spect 'tators, aggie 'tators, medi 'tators ...

The tomato, a savory, typically red, edible fruit, as well as the plant (Solanum lycopersicum), originated in South America and spread around the world following the Spanish colonization of the Americas. The tomato is part of the nightshade family.
The tomato is botanically a fruit, though generally and legally considered a vegetable. The word tomato comes from the Aztec tomatl, literally “the swelling fruit”.

Squash generally refer to four species of the genus Cucurbita, flowering plants - squash, pumpkins, watermelon, melon, zucchini & cucumber - native to Mexico and Central America.
Squash is loosely grouped into summer squash or winter squash, depending on whether they are harvested as immature fruit in the summer or mature fruit in the autumn/winter.
Squash are considered a vegetable in cooking, though they are botanically a fruit (being the receptacle for the plant's seeds). Squash can be served fresh in a salads, or cooked by frying, baking or boiling.
Gourds are from the same family as squashes.

V is for VEGETABLE,
My favorite is corn.
Corn that is eaten as a vegetable is called “sweet corn”, a variety with a high sugar content, and quite different from “field corn”. Sweet corn is often eaten fresh as “corn on the cob”, the kernels can also be removed from the cob and stored for eating later by canning or freezing.
Dried field corn is classified as a grain; it can be ground to make cornmeal that is a common food staple.

Giuseppe Arcimboldo
b. 1527; Milan
d. 1593; Milan
Giuseppe Arcimboldo painted extraordinary portraits composed of representations of food, flowers, and books. His 'Autumn' portrait shows the bounty of nature at harvest time- squash, potatoes, grapes. His visual puns makes his work a precursor to Surrealist like Salvador Dali.
