Why have Asda got tinned tomatos in the vegetable aisle?


Because people use them as a vegetable.
I for one don't want Tomato with custard as a desert even if it is
a fruit.

LOL

A good answer.

Our local Dutch supermarket chain has tinned tomatoes in the section
with Italian food.

Which leads us to the question of whether tomato ketchup belongs in
the fruit department :-)

Morrisons here has a "World Foods" isle. What they mean is "foreign
stuff".

Like tomatoes, potatoes, that sort of thing you mean? - or do you see these
as 'English' now because we've been eating them for so long?

Of course I see them as English. I also think spaghetti should not be a World food. World foods should be things that most English do not eat.

All this "expressionism" in art, personally I think things ought to look like things. To me it's fairly easy to
tell what the artists are trying to say with their smears and swirls -- they're trying to say they can't paint worth a damn.
