Talking about food reminds my of a conversation about food with dh

OK I'm going to make a list and I'd like you to tell me if you'd consider it a veggie or a starch. I'm going to list random "veggies", tell me if you consider them veggies, and if you'd accept them to be the only veggie for a meal.

Peas

Green beans

Corn

Sweet potatoes

Potatoes

Broccoli

Baked beans
