TOMATOES: Fruit or Vegetable?

Why is there an opinion poll about a subject with a factual answer. It's not even a debatable subject, your country is a an idiot for classifying as something it's not, but it doesn't change anything. This thread baffles me.

I don't think I have met anyone, anywhere that considers rhubarb a fruit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've read the thread and you've been flailing abount with a barely sensical argument. You seem to keep bringing in the term vegetable out of context in which it is normally used and which it is being used in the opening post of this thread. If the OP was written on the same wavelength as you are it would make even less sense.

To the matter of the court settlement, they're idiotic for classifying the tomato as a vegetable and NOT a fruit. That doesn't make sense.

How ya doing, buddy?

I'm not talking about definition, I'm talking about context. Get a dictionary. Look it up.
