> in the culinary context you would never use a tomato like a fruit I'm not sure what it means to use something "as a fruit" in culinary context, but tomatoes are definitely used in many contexts that other fruits are. Tomatoes, avocados, lemons, limes, grapefruits are all used raw in similar savoury salad-y contexts, and there are plenty of fruits that are also cooked with.
