Actually, the vegetables thing would bother me (assuming that I noticed it), but for a different reason - i.e. the "not bothering to do research" reason mentioned below. I've written AU fanfics set in various historical periods, and every few paragraphs I paused to quickly find the name of a period-appropriate herb, or to check something about clothing or internal decor or food or whatever. It's so easy to do, and because I bother to do it when writing "just" fanfic, it really irritates me when professional authors and their editors don't bother in something they're going to charge people to read. (Although I'm more tolerant of errors in movies than in books, since they have to physically find props and locations. It's easier to write an authentic medieval garden than to find one to film in.)
However, it's more a case of me going "Grr!" at the laziness of the author, rather than me getting incandescent with rage, which I do at the merest mention of films like Braveheart or that WW2 submarine thing.
