Finnish Vegetables

What's the difference between

 and ?



You can see: cucumbers and something "like" sausages made out of something "comparable" to meat.

www.uku.fi/nutritionepidemiologists/fruits.htm

quote wikipedia: "Makkara (finnish word for sausage) is a very broad term for basically everything edible stuffed in a sausage-shaped natural or artificial skin."

Sounds delicious :P

more wikipedia: "Increasingly popular vegetarian and nutritionally unorthodox sausages fall without problems in the category of "makkara" as long as they maintains the "sausagy" shape." 

So, what did we learn today?

- Everything that looks sausagy is a sausage. 
--> Cucumbers are sausages! Bon appetit!
