Was very nice and took care of 3 portions of veg (pepper and sweetcorn were each half a portion)
Corn is not a vegetable, it's a grain.

but I realised if I reduce the amount of bread/pasta and meat (I only eat meat maybe twice a week now), I am able to eat more of the veg and pulses.
Bingo - this is key. Fill your plate with veggies and accessorize with meat and grain.

Yes it is, but sweetcorn counts as a veg in the five-a-day tables.

It's still a grain, not a vegetable.

Sweetcorn here is def classified as one of our 5 a day (making it either a fruit or a vegetable)
ETA - soz, Dani already said that.

I admit this does not make it such. Carrot is classified as a fruit due to EU law which specifies only fruit can make marmalade... and Portugal makes carrot marmalade.

Kidney beans are also counted towards five a day even though they are in the beans and pulses category. I think it's because they can provide some of the same vitamins as brightly colooured veg.

What is a pulse? I take it this is not the beating of your heart through your veins...

Peas, beans and lentils are pulses.

Not A Vegetable:
  • Corn of any type
  • Green Peas
  • Kidney beans
  • Chick Peas
  • Lentils of any type
  • Soy beans
  • Potatoes of any type
  • Winter squash (pumpkin, butternut, etc.)
  • V8 (too much sodium)

I knew the EU was stupid. Would they like to annex Indiana?

I've had great onion marmalade -- does that make an onion a fruit?

If you're going to exclude fruits you're list is going to be really long...

Mostly they'd end up as 'preserves' rather than 'marmelades'...except for locally made stuff which tends not to take much account of distant directives ;P
