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? I just ask where the "non-world" food comes from - and get a predictably blank look. But we are making a fundamental mistake: applying logic and reasoning to marketing. Similarly once, long ago, I asked a bookstore (Heffers!) manager what was the distinction between "fiction" and "literature", and how I should predict which section contained any particular book. He was somewhat bemused by the question, and admitted he didn't know. |
