Pickles are cucumbers. Cucumbers are vegatables. Yeah. they're actually baby cucumbers. No. Cucumbers are a fruit.

Most people consider a tomato to be a vegetable dietary wise but it is a fruit botanically speaking. From a dietary (food groups) standpoint pickles/cucumbers could go either way IMO.
