To prove that tomatoes aren't a fruit, did you just link to the page showing how tomatoes can be considered a fruit?

As an aside, I make a mean tomato cobbler. You just have to find a local farmer because most of the macro distributed stuff has been selected for shape and color rather than flavor.




On what basis do you conclude that that page does not also show how non-fruits such as pumpkins, berries, or chili peppers can be considered a fruit?


Some things are fruits in at least a botanical context and vegetables in at least a culinary context. Another prominent context that may differ is the legal one. Given all that, why are you asserting that the things on this list of fruits are "non-fruits" without giving some kind of elaboration/qualification as to the point you're making?


> non-fruits such as ... berries
