Tomatoes are only fruits in a biological sense, vegetable is a culinary term so it makes no sense to mix them up.

My understanding is that the term vegetable is actually a political term, meaning it is categorized as a vegetable for tax reasons.

Vegetables are taxed lower than fruits.

In the EU, carrots are classified as a fruit because otherwise, marmalades made with carrots would be illegal.

Maybe they should be illegal?
