My decision is that the tomato is not a fruit...NOR A VEGETABLE!!!! I have no reason to believe that tomatoes actually exsist.
--Have you actually seen a tomato before besides in a salad? No you have not And for those of you who think they saw a tomato, that was an apple you idiot!!!!! Point is....."your dead to me" as the honorable Stephen Colbert will say, at the end of his shows |

You mean to say that the tomatoes on the burgers I eat aren't really tomatoes, but apples? And that the tomato sauce underneath the toppings on pizza isn't a tomato product at all? My world is crumbling here, man.  |

That is the most asinine question I've ever heard. Everyone knows that tomatoes are actually thinking beings that will kill you if they get the chance. I saw it on a documentary once, then on a cartoon based on the documentary. -Akolouthos |

Botanically the tomato is a fruit because it is formed in the ovary at the base of the flower. The confusion exists because of the difference between science and cooking. And some years back someone with too much free time hooked a galvonometer to a tomato and decided that it felt pain and therefore said it had the ability to think.  ------------- "Arguing with someone who hates you or your ideas, is like playing chess with a pigeon.

You are correct. There can be no peace between us and the tomato. I have been warning the world of this for years, but do they listen?!? O, the fools! To whom shall I cry out?!?

Ok that hot tomato is really disturbing. First of all, a tomato (if it actually exsists) would not be in a pose like that. It would just be sitting down being immobile. Second, the other pictures are fruits from an unknown and disturbed land (Sudan maybe?) ANyway, i dont "see or smell" the tomato in these pictures.

Red is also the colour usually worn by Indian brides.

Isnt it amazing to think that tomatoes are a new world fruit. ... ?? They didnt exist in Eurasian cuisine until the 16th c. !!!!!!!! The same is true of peppers, and the potato. Man, food in Eurasia must have *sucked* before Columbus. Also, ever wonder why the tomato and the pepper caught on so well in Eurasia, but the avacado is still thought of as exotic and strictly (south) american?

Also, ever wonder why the tomato and the pepper caught on so well in Eurasia, but the avacado is still thought of as exotic and strictly (south) american? there are probably dozens of reasons, but one notable one is the high acidity of the tomato made it easier to preserve without refrigeration and canning tech.

It must be a case of what you are used to or grew up with, because I have tasted the european and middle east grown tomatos, and they are really awful, Tough, woody and seedy. The tomato you are referring to from NA could be of the Hydroponic type. Pale, tasteless with weak meat. The field grown Jersey tomato[rutgers, beefmaster etc.] is superior to any grown anywhere including elsewhere in the us. [biased?] of course I am, but accurate also.
BTW- early colonists called them love apples and thought them poisonous ------------- "Arguing with someone who hates you or your ideas, is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter what move you make, your opponent will walk all over the board and scramble the pieces". Unknown. |

Obviously this is another attack from the liberal agenda to make people believe in what they call "the truth." I am not saying that tomatoes do not exsist "per say." I am only saying that the real tomato is not the fruit(vegtable, alien etc.) but the tomato in our hearts. ANd that is what i am trying to let everyone know.

The United States Congress passed the Tariff Act of 1883, a rather innocuous piece of legislation requiring a 10% tax on imported vegetables, in response to growing international trade. Just a few short years later, a tomato importer evaluated the law closely, and decided to challenge it on the botanical grounds that a tomato was in fact technically a fruit, not a vegetable, and should therefore be exempt from said tax. John Nix's case posed merit enough to land the case before the Supreme Court in 1893. In Nix vs Hedden, 149 U.S. 304 (1893), Justice Gray wrote, "Botanically speaking, tomatoes are fruits of a vine, just as are cucumbers, squashes, beans, and peas. But in the common language of the people...all these are vegetables, which are grown in kitchen gardens, and which, whether eaten cooked or raw, are, like potatoes, carrots, parsnips, turnips, beets, cauliflower, cabbage, celery and lettuce, usually served at dinner in, with or after the soup, fish or meats which constitute the principal part of the repast, and not, like fruits generally, as dessert [1]." The court rejected the botanical truth that the tomato is in fact a monstrously sized berry, and deferred to the culinary vernacular of vegetable to describe it. Thus is tax yet paid on imported tomatoes. Posted By: red clay
