For real fun, look up botanical “berry” (cucumber, eggplant, grape, pumpkin, tomato, fruits of the potato, banana, melon, but not strawberry, raspberry. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berry_(botany). Avocado seems to be an edge case that may be a berry or a drupe)

Similar situation with nuts. Most food items classified as "nuts" -- including many with "nut" in the name -- are botanically not nuts, but seeds, drupes, or legumes. [1]
