I guess the same with potatoes and the Brits/Irish through Sir Walter Raleigh. Although that well known nefarious organization, the Irish Potato Federation calls that a myth.

Good fact, except bananas aren't trees, they're herbaceous plants.

Herbs apparently

A berry I thought. A berry has 4 things - an outer skin, an inner flesh, an inner pulp that holds the seeds, seeds - has to be more than one. Excuse my terminology.

So a strawberry is not a berry and neither is a cherry, based on that definition.

And I believe the Mandarin sign for China is a rectangle/square with the two intersecting lines that meet in the middle - as China is the centre of the world.

i think the technical answer is it is both, the plant itself is herbacious but the fruit is a berry

Both. A banana (the yellow thing you peel and eat) is undoubtedly a fruit (containing the seeds of the plant: see answer regarding tomatoes) though since commercially grown banana plants are sterile. The seeds are reduced to little specks. However, the banana plant, though it is called a banana-tree in popular usage is technically regarded as an herbaceous plant (or herb), not a tree, because the stem does not contain true woody tissue.
