Is the tomato a fruit or vegetable

"INTELLIGENCE is knowing that tomatoes are fruit. WISDOM is knowing not to put tomatoes in fruit salad."

That scrolls across for my screensaver at work.

The main part of a plant is a vegetable, the things that grow off of plants are fruits. Things that grow off of trees, bushes, and vines are fruit. Carrots and potatoes are vegetables because the plant grows off of them, rather than the other way around.

Flower are fruit? What about lettuce and cabbage? Nuts? The fig? Peas?

Well there are other criteria too, fatty.

Aren't beans fruit?

I know some members who are fruits =D

EDIT: I voted "my vote doesn't count" because it had zero votes. Vote for that so my vote doesn't stay lonely!

im backing up my point now. I think tomatos ar enot a fruit or begetable, but a condiment. you use it to add on to other foods for example, hamburgers, saladas, french fries and more.

Find a dictionary that defines vegetable as something that doesn't have seeds. Also, what does that make beans? Pumpkin?

Again, fruit and vegetables are not mutually exclusive - one can be both.
