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?

He means aisle.

- or do you see these
as 'English' now because we've been eating them for so long?



What's with this "English"
I think you mean "British"

If they are from the Isles he means Scottish??



You mean like the Isles of Scilly, or the Channel Isles?

British Isles, which is a geographical entity including
Eire (much to their annoyance).


The Irish are an abomination.


You original post smelled of trollery - but it had
the virtue of being amusing.

Your last response doesn't even have that small virtue.


There's a reason for the stereotype.
