i've always seen a tomato as a vegetable so to me it sounds silly to call it a fruit
to me fruits are generally things you can just bite into or peel a bit and they're sweet or tangy
you wouldn't just bite into a tomato (except grape tomatoes), that stuff's gross

Lets just classify tomatoes as tomatoes from now on.

Here's a definition that I hope everyone can agree on and help to propagate:

Fruits: things that you'd eat by themselves

Vegetables: things that you'd eat only with other things

Just think how much easier everything will be now!

Everything you classify as a vegetable I'd classify as a fruit then. Your system sucks.

It's a fruistable.

I find that highly unlikely.

Silly people, tomatoes are felines.

Fruits develop from pollinated flowers and related tissues, and contain seeds
Vegetables are other parts of the plant, such as leaves, stems, or roots.

Tomatoes, along with a lot of other things, such as cucumbers, peppers, green beans, avocadoes, all varieties of squash, and many other things, are actually fruits. However, in culinary uses, they are treated as a vegetable.


As a general rule, ask "Does this contain seeds?"
If yes, it's a fruit.
If no, it's a vegetable.
Some things are exceptions of course, like "seedless" varieties (EDIT: Even in the case of "seedless" fruits, the seeds are usually still there, just not developed)

[Otis Da HousKat]

I find that highly unlikely.

Under your system some common fruits I eat are:

spinach
carrots
Brussels sprouts
cabbage
cauliflower
broccoli
