Ok, but the question is not "technical." It's how you treat it. Sounds like most people so far treat it as a starch.

So if you had chicken, mashed potatoes and corn... would your veg be covered? Or would that be a duplicative starch?

The following are technically fruits: avocado, beans, peapods, corn kernels, cucumbers, grains, nuts, olives peppers, pumpkin, squash, sunflower seeds and tomatoes. Vegetables include celery (stem), lettuce (leaves), cauliflower and broccoli (buds), and beets, carrots and potatoes (roots).

Its a grain, so not a vegetable in our house. We serve it where we would serve pasta, rice, or potatoes and still have a vegetable or two in addition.

We treat it as a grain in our household. Corn on the cob is a substitute for rice/pasta but not for broccoli for me.

It is what it is, but I serve it as a vegetable. For example: tacos, guac, corn on the cob; cheeseburgers, fries, corn on the cob; chicken, mashed potatoes, salad, corn; grilled shrimp, asparagus, corn salad, bread.

I consider it a grain, ( you can make bread out of it) but not a very nutritious one. It is mostly carbohydrate and fiber.
