You are just splitting hairs unnecessarily here. A vegetable is any consumable plant part which is not a seed or a fruit. Things such as leaves, stems, roots, flowers, etc. A tomato is a consumable plant part that is a fruit, therefore it is not a vegetable. Just because it's used like a "vegetable" in cooking does not mean it is a vegetable. An eggplant is another one that is used like a vegetable when cooking but is also, in fact, a fruit. The term "vegetable" is basically a catch-all term for anything that is not already in another category. You wouldn't call a mushroom a vegetable, would you? Of course not. Even though it's often treated as a vegetable in cooking, it's already in another category: fungi. A tomato is a fruit. It's not that complicated. --- PSN ID: Aristoph http://www.youtube.com/user/SotCRules ... Copied to Clipboard! |
