Chlouvānem use does not make a big distinction between vegetables and fruit; tomatoes and carrots are considered "fruits" (''hælvyai'') just as pineapples or strawberries are. Those listed in this separate section are those that are exclusively used as parts of savoury dishes (except legumes, which are however not considered fruits). Cereals (''lāsīm'') are also included here, which are, unlike vegetables, a distinct category. | Chlouvānem use does not make a big distinction between vegetables and fruit; tomatoes and carrots are considered "fruits" (''hælvyai'') just as pineapples or strawberries are.

** ''haitē'' — salad, also the most common type of Chlouvānem "fast food". The common Chlouvānem salad contains mostly leafy greens, usually many mild-tasting vegetables (the actual ones used usually vary regionally and seasonally), stir-fried and spiced ''klaḍas'' (i.e. Chlouvānem tempeh) or breadfruit, and a small portion of strong tasting, usually pickled, vegetables or mushrooms. The most commonly recognized ingredient, however, is the dressing, which is always some kind of strongly aromatic balsamic vinegar. ''haitē'' shops or carts are a common sight in cities of the Inquisition, especially near transit facilities, and it is very common to find people eating ''haitē'' on public transport at any time of the day. | ** ''haitē'' — salad, also the most common type of Chlouvānem "fast food".
