A "grain" is an edible component of a cereal grass (members of the monocot family Poaceae), It is botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis, composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran.
Within my kitchen (and I think many others), I call these 'cereals', not grains.
The question asked, 'What is my favorite fruit?'
If I had have answered, "cereal" or "grain", then my answer would have been vague.
My answer is valid, because we do eat cereals or grains.
The question did not ask which fruit do I think is the most delicious, but which is my favorite.
I answered the question truthfully and unambiguously.
What is your favorite fruit?

Wheat is a grain. The kernel of the plant IS, within the definition of botany, the "fruit" of the plant.... But within KITCHEN it's a grain!
Since we're talking about EATING foods here and not studying BOTANY... this isn't a valid answer.
Besides, there's MUCH MUCH more delicious fruits out there than any grain....
You just gotta suck the FUN out of everything, don't you? Ya little fun-sucker, you. >_<
