    Samphire used as a veg is a herb? (making the "used as" the more likely definition)

    I'm confused how 6 of each mentioned on first post when only 11 named but then I don't really get what you have to do with them. Far too confusing

    Basically there will be 24 bubbles:

    Avocado
    Kumquat
    Aubergine
    Romanesco
    Samphire
    Mangosteen
    Okra
    Lychee
    Quince
    Butternut squash
    Durian
    Fruit
    Fruit
    Fruit
    Fruit
    Fruit
    Fruit
    veg
    veg
    veg
    veg
    veg
    veg

    and you pair them up crossing them out as you go along, so you would cross out Kumquat and fruit, then move on to the next and then you will have one bubble left which says either fruit or veg and that is the answer.
    You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

    There are 5 fruit used as "fruit" and 6 others used as "veg" which would leave fruit over


    Otherwise there are 9 fruit, 1 flower (romanesco) and 1 herb (Samphire)

    Sorry to throw the cat among the pigeons, but I think the answer they're looking for is 'Veg'. I've got the following:

    Durian - Fruit
    Kumquat - Fruit
    Avocado - Fruit
    Lychee - Fruit
    Mangosteen - Fruit
    Quince - Fruit
    Romanesco - Veg
    Samphire - Veg

    Which leaves me with Aubergine, Okra, Butternut Squash (Which are all arguably fruits, but commonly used as vegetables!) and Veg x 4.

    but if you are counting aubergine, okra and butternut squash as fruits which are used as vegetables then avocado also falls into that category

    Yes, I just realised that. I've entered with 'FRUIT' as my answer, but with a very lengthy info-dump.
