How many of you (and you know there are people this time!) thought a tomato was a veggie!?!? Speak up!

As far as I'm concerned, if it's not sweet it's not a fruit.

this is worse than your pickle failure.

did you also know that tomato is a New World Fruit? meaning, the Italians didn't know shit about tomatoes until European discovery of the Americas. When you consider how strongly Italian food is associated with tomatoes
