Lux Aeterna Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Why is tomato even considered a vegetable in the first place? They're probably thinking it looks and tastes more like a vegetable. ... Not really a good reason, since if a tomato tasted like a vegetable it'd still be a fruit (or any other similar examples you can think of), but they see it as justification.

Taste varies with all fruits. But how on Weyard does a tomato look more like a vegetable than a fruit? We are talking about those round red stuff, right?

It's a much better reason than the nitpicking crap that peopel use to make it allegedly a fruit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anouleth Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 It's a much better reason than the nitpicking crap that peopel use to make it allegedly a fruit. Well, there are two definitions: botanical and gastronomical. Tomato is not gastronomically a fruit since it's used in savoury cooking; but gastronomically, rhubarb is a fruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Figs are simply amazing. The best fruit around. So sweet and tasty. Tried them when I went to Croatia for a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothene Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Are Durians the ones that allegedly taste amazing but smell like rotten flesh? Yes...exactly that..although depending on which part of the world you grew up in, you might not think it smells like rotten flesh. I've tried time and again to make my asian grandparents try cheese as I find it awesome...but they can't stand its smell... Alternately, I've got to say the same things(Minus the word 'awesome') to convince my norwegian relatives durians are worth giving a try...

Haze Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) For starters, all four orange variants down to mid, clementines above tangerines, mandarines above oranges. We'll go on from there once you do that. Edited September 13, 2011 by Hazekitty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psych Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Pomegranate below plums? Pomegranates are insanely difficult to get at the good part, but it's so indescribably good that i's worth the wait! And blueberries to high tier. They are so healthy for you.

Original Alear Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Pineapples are not difficult, even I can cut a pineapple. Now a pomegranate I have no idea how to deal with except don't eat the outside, as for how you do that without being messy I haven't the slightest. Only some varieties of oranges are difficult. Isn't it clementines where you can just peel the skin off and eat em without worrying about the whites that much? Grapefruits are insanely difficult to cut good slices from IMO.

Starlette Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Durians for God Tier, because you don't wanna get hit by one. (Well they also have a good taste but good luck getting past the smell.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iris Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) Mid Green Apples Coconuts Cherries Plums Lemon Lime Mango Pomegranate Mango is too low, dude. It should be moved up to Upper Mid, if not High. Definitely above bananas. Other problems with the list, but this is the most serious! :O You're missing out if you've never tried a lychee.

Lux Aeterna Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 (edited) It's a much better reason than the nitpicking crap that peopel use to make it allegedly a fruit. Oh okay so you're saying that we should call it a fruit because we think it should be a fruit, rather than what it actually is? k, sound reasoning there This is probably the single least correct tier list I have ever seen. Well, that's because it's so ridiculously subjective. What you find tasty I might find gross, and vice versa.

Original Alear Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 http://oxforddiction.../tomatofruitveg However, chemistry - upon which biology is based - was born in the kitchen, therefore the tomato's status as a vegetable is primal, IMO. Corn is also a fruit according to biologists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
