[tlhIngan Hol] differentiating between fruit and vegetable

[Steven Boozer]

That was my point, actually:  There aren't any Terran vegetables identified.  If we attach any "in universe" meaning to the sources of these words, it appears that Klingons haven't had the need to name any Terran vegetables, perhaps because they don't notice or eat them.  Or because alien fruit is more colorful, eye-catching and exotic.  It was something worth pointing out.

This might be because there are no Terran vegetables named at all.

You can find the TalkNow words on the Klingon wiki:
http://klingon.wiki/En/TalkNow

A list of food words is here. It includes a list of food name + appositions for comparison:

While checking this, I noticed that we really do not have many terran vegetable words.
