Is a cucumber a fruit? That is questionable. Most of my relatives say it is a vegetable. The definition of fruit is: the ripened reproductive body of a seed plant. That makes a cucumber, tomato, or even a squash a fruit.
The definition of a vegetable is, however: edible seeds or roots or stems or leaves or bulbs or tubers or nonsweet fruits of any of numerous herbaceous plant. Hence one could argue the case either way or that the cucumber is both.

I believe a cucumber is a squash, and that squashes are neither vegetables nor fruits, but squashes.
But I could be wrong.
Regardless, that's a hell of a find, and a great photo!
