The effective vibe is much more important than any underlying biology.

Tomatoes are vegetables.

Biologically, tomatoes are fruit. Culinarily, tomatoes are vegetables.

I don't think vegetable sounds right either. No one crushes up broccoli or carrots to make sauce for pizza and you don't add tomatoes to your roast veggies.

People put carrots in pizza sauce, like Rao's: https://www.raos.com/products/pizza-sauce

And roasted tomatoes are great with some peppers and onions.

Yeah, thanks nature for not adequately distinguishing between fruits and vegetables by cooking techniques!

Sometimes, you can be such a cunt, nature.

do you know how this meme or bell curves work? should be the dummy saying vegetable, the majority saying fruit, and the genius (on the right...) saying it's a vegetable

Guess we just know different people then

Tomatos are a made up by Italians to sell more "tomato" sauce.

I see the image must have been cropped off to the right

"Vegetables" makes no sense.

Tomatoes, grapes, apples, cucumber, pumpkin, eggplant, mushrooms, all fruits.

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I was with you until mushrooms, those ain't even plants

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago

We are talking about "fruits" here which isnt even a term used to describe plants. Maybe in english, not in german.
