Fruits and Vegetables

Oh, I've been meaning to take a look at that when it's done. I have a policy of not reading gay fics set in the past until it's done (at which point I check if there is a happy ending), because there is usually so much persecution angst and suspense. I'm a bit of a history geek, I know the horrible stuff that happens then. So, if it's completely fictional, I can just discount unhappy as one of the AUs, but if it's historical, it stays unhappy because I knew something like that did actually happen.

Well, cucumber is actually a fruit, because it is the part of the vegetable that bears seeds. Ditto for tomato and squash. People tend to associate sweets with fruits though (or at least the use of), sometimes rhubarb sauce is lumped with fruit even though it's a stalk.

Oh, I understand. I'd just like to say umm... if you're looking for any real history in my fic it might be hard to find. Most of my information is from civil war movies (like The Patriot, or Glory) and Wikipedia. Also, by merit of being part of the Harlequin genre, it is gonna end up with a happy ending that is completely unrealistic. I know what your getting at though, with the depressing facts of history- I also try to avoid such things. It's just too sad to think about for long periods of time.

Also, I think the official description of Fruit Vs. Vegetable is based on whether or not you eat it with dinner. That's the legal definition at least. At some point people needed to know the difference for tariff purposes with imports and exports. When it comes down to the biological part of it I have no idea.

I thought squashes had their own category? That's why I didn't list pumpkins- I'm saving squashes for a later poll...

Props for being a history geek!

Hey, unrealistically happy is okay as long as people are in character. The universe is full of infinite possibilities and at least a few of them has to be ridiculously happy.

I heartily approve of this sentiment.
