Americans are stupid. Fruits hang on things, vegetables are in or on
the ground. And if you care to look up a proper website in the UK, not
some backwards way first country, you'll find there is also a technical
botanical reason a tomato is a fruit, to do with containing seeds. Same
goes for beans.

Tomatoes (note the 'e')

And what is the point of the e?

Look in your dictionary.



are a fruit, but just don't put them in a fruit
salad!

Why not? I do.
