> tomatoes are technically fruits Tomatoes are quite obviously fruits. Most of the industrial tomatoes are tasteless because they're harvested well before they're properly ripe, but a ripe tomato harvested at the appropriate time is obviously (and tastes like) a fruit. It's almost as if vegetable is an overly broad (and as such not particularly useful) designation in the common lingo, much like dinosaur ;)
