It hurts my brain.
Matt you know things like that do :(
It's always been a fruit hasn't it?
In my own opinion I would class it as a vegetable , mainly because it is always used in salads and that.
If it has seeds it's a fruit, if it doesn't it's a vegetable.
same with me, but yeah it's a fruit.Quote:

This argument has led to actual legal implications in the United States, Australia and China. In 1887, U.S. tariff laws that imposed a duty on vegetables but not on fruits caused the tomato's status to become a matter of legal importance. The U.S. Supreme Court settled this controversy in 1893, declaring that the tomato is a vegetable, using the popular definition which classifies vegetable by use, that they are generally served with dinner and not dessert. The case is known as Nix v. Hedden (149 U.S. 304). While the Tomato can be classified as a fruit, it is officially categorized as a definite vegetable in the United States.
Haha, that made me laugh a little bit. The supreme court has nothing better to do than categorize what food as what.
I think of it as a vegitable because I consider fruits very flavorfull. And a tomato is quite un-tastefull, really. Even though technically it's a fruit.
In terms of science it's a fruit, but in terms of cooking it's a vegetable. It's like cucumber and peppers and other fruits that are classed as vegetables because they are cooked with savoury foods.
a fruit cos its yummy and i hate veggies :}

That's like saying 'In your opinion is a window made of glass?'
if its a fruit its a fruit. persoanlly i dont like tomatoes, only on tacos. but i consider it to be a fruit.
i class it as a vegetable. why would you have a tomato in your fruit dish at home next to apples and oranges? :s
Its just a common debate. It is a fruit by definition, but the U.S. has declared it a vegitable (for food shipping purposes etc)Quote:
