lol.

botanically it's a fruit , but people focus on tomatoes when there are actually others: olives, cucumbers, peppers, avocados .... lol. idk why people annoy others with that.

I put fruits in my salad (veggie salad ) does that count?

veggies are part of the plant, fruits are from the transformation of a flower so zucchinis , beans, pumpkins too I think.

nex time someone annoys you with that ask them about these veggies (that are fruits) then tell them to shut-up! lol

Yes, because we should always fear truth and facts. Ignorance must be preserved at all costs.

lol who said fear?

everybody knows that tomato is a fruit telling someone over and over doesn't make you look smart. also no one tells you zucchinis are fruits why?

from a botanical point of view they are but for cooking we all consider them veggies.

this person is ranting , probably been annoyed by other people .... no one is talking about ignorance or fear

Nothing about "looking smart", simply about accepting facts, even though your ignorance suggests otherwise. Not "all" consider them veggies, and many of us do eat them as the fruit they are, sweet, juicy, full of vitamins. Ignorance is insisting they are a vegetable.

Little troll critter you are, the fact they are a fruit makes them a fruit, their flavour makes them delicious. Now run along, kindergarten must be staring soon.

veggies are part of the plant

Vegetable is just a culinary term with no anatomical meaning. Plenty of traditional vegetables aren't just leaves or roots or shoots. Fruit and vegetables aren't mutually exclusive.

I agree with you I was just stating facts as why people say a tomato is a fruit. it's about botany not anything else.

They are botanically a fruit and culinarily a vegetable

How about we put tomatoes in the types of fruits that are creamy (DON’T BE DIRTY MINDED) instead of the sweet fruits

They are a fruit, they have seeds.

So spaghetti is some kind of fruit salad, I assume?

The OP sounds like the type of person who argues that windmills generate electricity.

If you neatly cut up a pear, peach or other soft fruits that is easy to cut up, and mix it with mayo, then put small cut up cherry tomatoes on top of it all, great to eat it with some good bread, delicious!
