Biologically, tomatoes are fruit. Culinarily, tomatoes are vegetables.
Vocally, they're baritones.
Ideally they are makeshift weed pipes
I dunno, even in a culinary sense, tomatoes are way too acidic to lump in with vegetables imo. The textures are totally different from veggies too
I don't think vegetable sounds right either. No one crushes up broccoli or carrots to make sauce for pizza and you don't add tomatoes to your roast veggies.
People put carrots in pizza sauce, like Rao's: https://www.raos.com/products/pizza-sauce
And roasted tomatoes are great with some peppers and onions.
Peppers are fruit too
Yup, but also a vegetable.
Yeah, thanks nature for not adequately distinguishing between fruits and vegetables by cooking techniques!
Sometimes, you can be such a cunt, nature.
Maybe you don't.

I love playing around with recipes so have indeed made broc and carrot sauces, but this is kind of all about what feels right to say. And I think that there's a lot of cases where it feels wrong to describe tomato as a vegetable. Kind of how I'd feel odd calling lettuce a vegetable.
Okay but if someone offered me a pizza with broccoli or carrot sauce I'd have to politely, but firmly refuse
