That Dave lid was responded to nicely enough, despite being very wrong but then came out and threw a few rip bombs.

Probably has not discovered the beneficail effects of pineapple on pizza.
Is this a trick question Mr Jarvis?
There is no benefit to having fruit on your pizza, you meant to say surely?

There is always fruit on pizza, tomato is a fruit.
Only monsters consider tomato a fruit.

Generally you can safely call the product of a fertilization a "fruit". (We
routinely, in the supermarket, call the structure bearing fruits "fruit").
Generally fruits will germinate into plants which will again flower,
offering another opportunity for fertilization. (Note that bananas we find
in the store bear tiny almost-remnants of seeds which will not
germinate...in the wild, banana "fruits" have seeds (fruits, being the
products of fertilization) which are much larger which will germinate). If
one discusses a part of a plant which is not the direct product of a
fertilization nor the structure bearing it, then one could safely call the
item an herb. For example, basil leaves are vegetative structures not
specifically the result of a fertilization and are most easily described as
herbs.
I do not have an adequate definition for 'vegetable', but my feeling for its
routine meaning is any part of a plant consumed whether a stem (celery), a
leaf (lettuce), a root or tuber (radish, or potato, respectively), and in
some cases the fruit of fertilization or structures bearing them (cucumbers,
yes-tomatoes). Add to this such items as mushrooms (basidiocarps of fungi)
and you get the idea....the term vegetable has come to mean most anything
which is not animal or mineral which we find in the 'produce' section of the
supermarket. Thus, the term vegetable has somewhat lost a botanical
usefulness in that there are more specific terms to use depending on the
particular structure being discussed.
Note that there are specific botanical definitions for berries which can be
found in any good plant classification text; you can see this is essential,
for example, in distinguishing between raspberries, blueberries, and
tomatoes (also berries).

NO, the dictonary considers it one.
1 : the usually large rounded typically red or yellow pulpy berry of an herb (genus Lycopersicon) of the nightshade family native to South America
2 : a plant that produces tomatoes; especially : one (Lycopersicon esculentum syn. L. lycopersicum) that is a tender perennial widely cultivated as an annual for its edible fruit
It IS a fruit. Try to call it a vegtable all you want, but it wont make it one.

No tomatoes in any vegtable soup ive ever seen.
Yeah, well, I googled and found this:
