Is the tomato a fruit or vegetable

[Meat Puppet]

I've always thought of it as a fruit.

[RSL]

I always think of corn as a fruit. I eat corn flavored ice cream all the time.

Botanically speaking, a tomato is the ovary of a magnoliophyta, or in other words: A fruit, or, more precisely, a berry of some sort.

[Reine]

Tomatoes are classified as fruit, despite tasting and looking like vegetables

[rubah]

vegetables have a taste?

Weird, and here I thought peppers and okra and asparagus and cucumbers and squash and corn and cabbage all had unique tastes!

Cream asparagus for supper kids! Cabbage in your salads!

It's a fruit, duh.

The fruit is an edible, brightly coloured (usually red, from the pigment lycopene) berry, 1-2 cm diameter in wild plants, commonly much larger in cultivated forms.

Why does it have to always ba a rude duh? ITs obvious that some people think it should be a vegetable so why are you so negative. Im enjoying the thread myself. If you are going to contribute to a thread you shouldnt be rude you should be informative and not both. May I fart for the wind to carry it to your face.

Yay for you and knowing things and saying them before me!

Tomatoes are terrible berries, though. They're pretty good in comparison to other vegatables though. I think that's why people want them to be vegatables.

Yes berries are usually sweet and nice. Tomatoes, yuckie. Never liked 'em.

Ok, well whether people think it should be a vegetable or not, that doesn't change the fact that it is a fruit.

Also, if you don't like the way that I respond you can always add me to your ignore list.

Or I can suggest that you be more polite. The suggestion is not a bad one. Maybe Im just over reacting. Let's not spamm though.
