Topic: Is the tomato really a fruit? Hell no!@!!!! Posted: 22-Mar-2006 at 20:32 |
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.

I have eaten a lot of Tomatoes in India {most of them were not in Salads}.Tomato is a fruit......atleast thats what most dudes who've studied them say.
I'll take their word over yours on this issue.

If tomatoes are gods then what does that make us? THEIR SUBJECTS!?@?@?!?! hELL!!! i rather die than have a tomato be my master! If a tomato is a god by the way, then it cannot be a fruit. It is just a God. That only proves me damn well thought out theory that Tomatoes dont even exsist!!!! Like Zeus!!

nexts you will be saying that all the great tomato inventions are a myth too. Do you have any idea how many things would not be possible without tomatoes. Have you no taste buds man?

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.
