  • Thought For The Week, And A Question To Ponder

    From Lawrence D'Oliveiro@21:1/5 to All on Mon Sep 2 06:41:56 2024
    Thought for the week:

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit;
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    Question to ponder:

    Can you think of a food that would be classed as a “vegetable”, but does not come from a plant?

    And a walnut is not a nut.
