I got to thinking about Rhubarb.
You find it in catalogues in the fruit section, but it's not a fruit.
I wouldn't call in a veg. so what is it?
A herbaceous perennial?

It's used as though it was a fruit (i.e. mainly in dessert dishes), so I
expect it would be designated a "fruit" for convenience.

I guess the nearest equivalent would be celery. But somehow I don't
fancy celery crumble fpr pudding...
