Accept capsicum for bell peppers? I'd also recommend making the singular description of a vegetable an acceptable answer as well as the plural (e.g. potato as well as potatoes). Currently you've got a mix of singulars and plurals as accepted answers. Otherwise, great quiz!

Capsicum is the flower that bell peppers grow on. They are completely different things. I will accept plural and singular answers tho.

Interesting. Here in NZ and Australia (as well as Singapore and India apparently), capsicum is the name it goes by.

You're correct, but they are considered vegetables. https://www.bestfoodfacts.org/is-the-mushroom-a-vegetable-2/#:~:text=Mushrooms%20have%20no%20leaves%2C%20roots,re%20not%20a%20true%20vegetable.&text=However%2C%20in%20terms%20of%20nutrition,same%20nutritional%20attributes%20of%20vegetables.

I got all the answers, but lost out on several because I said "potato" instead of "potatoes". Please fix this. A right answer is a right answer whether plural or not.

You absolutely should fix this to allow the singular form of the word in all cases. Green bean, potato, pepper, and sweet potato should all be acceptable answers. And you should also allow yam as a synonym for sweet potato.

Maybe I'm being ignorant or something, but aren't cucumbers, pumpkins, squash, and bell peppers all fruits? They all have seeds, therefore, they are fruits.

Botanically speaking yes, from a culinary perspective no. There are different definitions.

Tricky because of dialects. I did not think of squash because what in Australia we call squash, I think you would call pattypan yellow zucchini, which is not going to be in the top 20. What you call squash we would call pumpkin, or butternut pumpkin. Also, I tried capsicum with no luck (maybe I had a typo), but then remembered that Americans call them peppers.

I'll accept capsicum for pepper and pumpkin for squash.
