Why have Asda got tinned tomatos in the vegetable aisle?

Would you eat them with cream as a dessert?

How would that decision affect what they actually are? Should we have
an aisle labelled "stuff that goes with this other stuff?"

I want a tomato, I know it's a fruit, so I should go to the fruit aisle!

As with most supermarkets the section is "Fruit and Veg" I don't see the
problem, and not everyone knows (or cares) that a tomato is a fruit.

If they don't know what a fruit is, do they know what a car is? I guess
the yanks don't know what a truck is, they think a 4x4 is a truck.

Come to that a lot don't even care what it tastes like.

If it's fruit and veg, there isn't a problem. But my Asda has a fruit
aisle and a veg aisle.

I can't understand why, if you despise that supermarket so much you
give them so much free advertising


I haven't given them any advertising, only bad press.

and don't take your custom elsewhere.


I already do, but for a different reason. I only buy 3 items in there which Aldi and Morrisons don't stock.


Fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and tomato puree?


Pizza, triple chocolate fresh baked cookies, and fly spray.
