I don't know exactly how it works, but i've heard fruit is defined by the location of the seeds within the food itself. Tomatoes are classified as a fruit because the seeds are arranged in a formation spreading outwards from the core of the object, similar to apples and pears. I've also been told that a fruit is classified by the seeds being located inside the outer most membrane of the object.
I could be wrong on this, but that's a shakey account of what i've been told.
I've always been a big fan of the old saying, "Knowledge is knowing that Tomatoes are fruit, wisdom is knowing not to put them in a fruit salad."
Jam it back in, in the dark.
