Fruit ot vegi?

[cephalotus88]

I was wondering, is a chili of any sort a fruit or a vegi? Some say its a vegi, but, like the tomato, it has seed inside the "meat", so is it considered a fruit?

Well encyclopedia.com refers to them as fruit, so I'm gonna go with that.... fruit. http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/section/pepper_newworldpeppers.asp

Hey Zach

Also, the correct spelling is "chile". Chili is the soup. You can have chiles in your chili though.

Chile = fruit/vegetable...chili = spicey meat and bean concoction. I love them both. Its getting cooler now...good chili time.
