The Portuguese make them into jam. Not green tomato jam, like we do with
late ones that won't ripen, but a sweet red jam made with ripe tomatoes.
I like it as long as I don't know what it is, but as soon as I realise
it's tomato something in my brain says "this is a vegetable. You don't

Actually Tomatoes are Fruit
It depends on the purpose of the classification. Botanically speaking, runner beans are fruit and rhubarb is a stem, for culinary purposes runner beans are vegetables and rhubarb is a fruit.
