It has seeds and therefore is a fruit.

peppers have seeds, there not a fruit, and what about bananas, how often have you nearly choked on one of there seeds

RandomTiger · **Reply #3 on:** November 28, 2002, 04:30:53 pm

Bananas do seem to have very small seeds.
Peppers though, good one.

good for you, nasty tasting, mother wants you to eat, weirdass color = Veggie

Good for you, less nasty tasting, mother wants you to eat, more inviting color = fruit

Tomatoes are boring. Now, cherry tomatoes are the bomb.

A truer word can hardly be said.
I'll take a handful of cherry tomatoes over some sugary dessert any day of the week.

Edit: As a matter of fact, I do that every day of the week!

I think it is technically a fruit but it seems to be commonly known as a vegetable.

Is a cherry tomato that mini-sized tomato that has a bit of a sweet taste to it?

I like the veggies better actually.

I never said you don't like veggies generally... I like more of them too I think..

diamondgeezer · **Reply #18 on:** November 29, 2002, 02:06:14 am

I'm deeply suspicious of veggies... and the only fruit I really care about are the dark ones

Frankly, the only use for salad is as a dressing on your doner kebab

Tomatoes are fruit. As is almost every other veggie.
