    Always dismiss those people who talk about how tomatoes are fruits as nerds. The category “vegetable” in the kitchen usually refers to more savory plants, not that what part of the fruit it is. Also if you’re still one of those “um, ackchually, tomatoes are fruits” kind of people, then eat tomatoes like apples. Maybe even some chili peppers too, they’re berries.

      My driving instructor ate tomatoes like apples, got a whole wooden crate of them in the morning and a shaker of salt, I probably could’ve mowed down a few pedestrians as long as that man had his tomatoes.

      Tomatoes and fruits are a great litmus test (no pun intended) to see if a person can recognize the domain of their knowledge. Some people glomp onto a fact that is correct in some scenarios and use it as an “umm actually” where it isn’t appropriate or even correct (like the definition of racism)

      A burger meal is mostly vegetable and fruits, vegetable bread a thin slice of meat. served with vegetable potatoes (fries), vegetable hot sauce, tomatoes, and a vegetable drink filled with the vegetable corn syrup.

      vegetables are good for you, they say.

      As someone who thinks tomatoes are vegetables, I would eat more tomatoes like apples if they didn’t give me canker sores every time.
