(This one is a freebie. A person in a vegetative state would be an "animal"
for Q1, not "vegetable".)

I'm feeling very lost on this one, which I attribute to my own personal
turmoil, and not the boundaries of the game. So, I made some lists of what
we know.
Affirmative:
- Per Papa's comment, it is "something completely different"
- It IS a vegetable only in the general sense of the game
- It IS a food for human consumption
- The shape IS more yonic than phallic
- It COULD be confused by some to be a fruit
- A person using it as a drug COULD overdose on it
Negative:
- It is NOT used for sauces
- It is NOT a squash
- It is NOT generally sold as a single piece
- It is NOT a vegetable
- It is NOT a fruit
- It is NOT a melon
- It is NOT coffee
- It is NOT a mushroom
- It is NOT a person in a vegetative state
- One does NOT normally eat the entire thing, skin and all
- The skin is NOT striped or banded
Unanswerable
- Yes/No is not a sufficient answer for "is it green"
We have two more questions left (since walkman's question was deemed a
freebie).

Going over tfurrows summary, I realized a couple of things:
1. We skipped question #12.
2. The answer to question #5, "Is it generally sold as a single piece?" should
be "I can't answer" rather than the "No" I gave.
I apologize for the confusion. Let's set the question count back by 1 for the
miscount and 2 more for the bad answer, which makes the last question ...
Q16: Is it an herb?
A16: No

(I am interpreting "western" as "American" since I don't have much experience
with grocery stores other than in the US and Japan.)
A17: Yes

I guess I could have answered question 9 "Yes". I interpreted the question
to be asking whether or not one normally ate the whole thing in one sitting,
but it is true that you do eat the whole thing, including the skin/crust.
Hope that ambiguity didn't throw you.
That was more difficult than I thought it would be.

Would there be a problem if we started a new conference item for each game
round? I think it would make reviewing questions in the crrent round a lot
easier.
