I'll now be told "Oh everyone knows that" but I've just read that bananas
aren't fruit, botanically they're berries! Well!


Isn't a berry botanically a fruit? Along with drupes, nuts and so on?

I wouldn't let it worry you. Different definitions apply according to
context. For culinary purposes, a banana can be either vegetable or
fruit.


It doesn't worry me but it did confuse me! Thanks to you and Dave.
