a quandary, could you change my mind? |
I know it's meant to be a Fruit, I always think of a fruit as something I would eat on its own. I very rarely would eat a tomato on its own and think of it as a vegetable. |

"So if you make a salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and courgettes. Is that a fruit salad?"
it's a salad made of fruit, or just a salad.
scientifically they are classed as fruits but for catering they wouldn't be. |

Botanically tomatoes are fruits, I,d like to call them vegy fruits, According to
The concise oxford dictionary of botany, A fruit is defined as "strictly, The ripened ovary of a plant and its contents more loosely, the term is extended to the ripened ovary and seeds together with any structure with which they are combined. |

"Botanically, if its got seeds, its a fruit.
But with some decent olive oil and black pepper, who cares what it is! "
And fresh basil, one must never forget the fresh basil when eating anything with tomatoes |

"Tomatoes contain seeds, therefore they are a fruit. Like peppers and cucumber 
So what about seedless tomatoes ? 
They go next to the seedless grapes."
Red or Green Grapes ? |

Nout to do with seeds, many veg have internal seeds... cucumber, peppers, pumpkin, squash etc
If it grows on a herbaceous plant it's a vegetable, if it grows on a woody plant it's a fruit. |

I agree!
All the above mentioned 'veg' are the fruit of a flower  |

There's a healthy looking tomato plant growing at my local train station, looks like cherry tomatoes.
Unfortunately it's growing between the tracks where people have flushed the toilet...
Think I can guess where the seeds came from... |
