Tomatoe, Fruit or Veggie?

[K9karen]

I like to think of it as a veggie, the thought of putting fruit on burgers and subs etc..yuk!

Yup, I was going to say the same thing! Although in the summer, when they are in abundance and juicy and red, I eat them as I would an apple. But as much as I know they're fruit, my tummy says veggie (sprinkles salt...)

I know they are technicaly a fruit but as far as I am concerned they are veggies, you do not put tomatos in a fruit salad nor do you put melons and such in a veggie salad, n you put Tomato in a veggie salad lol

A tomato is a fruit because ... well ... because I looked it up in the dictionary and that's what I found. Is it called a to-MAY-to, or a to-MAH-to?

I would pronounce it to-MAH-to but I believe in the USA it is pronounced to-MAY-to

Fruits are the part of the plant containing seeds. This includes tomatos, squash, eggplant and cucumber.

Vegetables are plant roots, stems, and leaves. This includes rhubarb, used in pies.

I learned this in school.
