fruit tends to get put in pies, ie apple pie personly i don't fancy a tomato pie

just cos its got it seeds on the inside don't mean nowt, think of the poor nanna its now classed as a herb and the strawberry is classed as a fruit and thats got its seeds on the outside.

Pretty confusing tbh, just wish money grew on trees myself.

"The quality of fruit picked in the garden when fully ripe far surpasses anything available on the market, even in season"

tomato is a fruit because i thas seeds, vegetables dont

 

[Fin]

Botanically speaking, the tomato you eat is a fruit.
Horticulturally speaking, the tomato is a vegetable plant.

 

[MeetYourMaker]

Its a fruit because you eat the fleshy part that contains the seed, same as cucmbers, courgettes, etc.
It generally gets called a vegetable coz its not sweet, just so ppl dont get confused and try to make a dessert with them
