is a tomatoe a fruit or a vegitable.
i really don't know.

Botanically, it's a fruit. It has thick skin covering seed-containing flesh.

However, in the 19th century the Supreme Court ruled that tomatoes are vegetables and are thus subject to vegetable trade tariffs (there were no tariffs for fruit imports back then).

So, in the end, it's still a fruit.

yes but this is for what the people think

Oh i'm sorry, your post gave me the impression that you wanted the facts and not that it was some kind of poll.

My profuse apologies.

Fruit. And screw what the supreme court says otherwise.

A tomatoe is a spelling mistake.

oops thanks for pointing that out

I think people are out of topics for threads...

that's why i made this

vegetable duh!

Everyone knows that

I think technically it's a fruit. All I know is it's extremely good for you.

i think it is a fruit

lol of course it is a fruit

you said it was a vegi

I was being ironic.. did you not notice all the eyerolling smileys?

this poll ends in 19 days so vote now everyone

what constitutes a fruit or vegetable isn't a matter of opinion

technically, the tomato is a fruit.
a tomato bears seeds, and it has a "sweet" taste (i wonder where the hell people found this flavor in a tomato).
it's considered a vegetable because, well, by itself it tastes like shit.
so i voted vegetable.

I'm more interested in how people pronounce the word.

Do you:

a. pronounce it like 'tom-ay-to'?

or

b. pronounce it like 'tom-ah-to'?

And does anyone out there actually pronounce the word 'potato' like 'po-tah-to'?

I say tom-ay-to..

but in norwegian it's just tomat... which is like.. tom-ah-t

It's a vegetable. Simple as that. No arguments, no discussion, no criticism, it's just a vegetable. Everybody knows it's a vegetable. Even God knows it's a vegetable:

the Gospel of Aries, chapter 9, verse 17-18.

"And, to stop the countless wars that had been raging amongst the people of du, and the people of da, The Lord proclaimed," The tomato shall be a vegetable!!!!!" And so it was from then on, the tomato was a vegetable.

That's pretty cool.

There's no word for potato in my native tongue; only names for each different variety that were grown here before the settlers brought the word potato with them to cover the whole species lol
