    Wait, you’ve found one! I consider peppers their own thing, culinarily speaking anyway, neither fruit nor vegetable.

    The rest of your bullet points I basically agree with, but there’s also

    • peppers are peppery, not always hot, red bell are sweet, and green bell tastes like feet.

    • seeds are seedy, don’t think about the difference between them and nuts, some questions are not for mortal man.

        You can season duck with peppers, sure. Seasoning is a verb, to season one uses herbs, spices, peppers, (or if we’re talking about cast iron, oil or wax.)

          You don’t consider peppers spices? When something has a lot of pepper, wouldn’t you say it’s… spicy?

          Riddle me that.

            Red (or any) bell peppers, poblano peppers, banana peppers, Padrón peppers, cherry peppers, shishito peppers, habanada peppers, all peppers with no heat.

            Furthermore “heat,” while commonly conflated with “spice,” is not “spice.” “Spices” are not necessarily “hot:”

            Anise, allspice, cardamom, mustard seed, coriander, dill seed, clove, nutmeg, turmeric, saffron, vanilla, garlic, mace, sweet paprika, fennel, caraway, cumin, sumac, poppy seeds, sesame seeds, and MORE!

            are all not-hot spices. You have been riddled.
