Why have Asda got tinned tomatos in the vegetable aisle?

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

I worked with a Dutch guy who sprinkled sugar on tomatoes before eating them as
a dessert. The rest of his packed lunch was weird too. Even stranger was that he
brought a packed lunch and a thermos of coffee to work everyday, when we had a
very good restaurant quality food canteen, where meals were sold for the cost of
the materials

I had an uncle who sprinkled brown sugar on bacon, lettuce and tomato
sandwiches. He said it was normal behaviour in his home town.
