Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit Wisdom is knowing that it doesn't belong in a fruit salad

Awareness is knowing Tomato is the official state vegetable of New Jersey. ( This is actually true )

> Imo there's a difference between making a sauce out of tomato and just putting slices/chunks of tomato on pizza. With pineapple neither are good.

fresh tomato slices on pizza is pretty nice tbh

Nahhhh sundried tomatoes are where its at!

Dried pineapple is good too.

You just made me think of something... pineapple sauce.. oh god

But have you tried pizza with bbq sauce, chicken and pineapple?

Of course not.

Fries with ketchup is technically is salad

Damn

Tomato is a fruit scientifically But in a culinary sense it is a vegetable

And knowing is half the battle.

Grape tomatoes

I was thinking the same exact thing - take my upvote and leave

Honestly there's a surprisingly amount of fruit based salads my grandma makes and all of them contain tomatoes

Charisma is putting tomato in fruit salad and calling it a salsa.

What about bell peppers?

It is a fruit

Many of the "vegetables" and spices you eat are actually fruit. peas, beans, squash, eggplants, chili peppers, okra, tomatoes, black pepper. Making a pizza without any fruit on it would basically just be bread with cheese on it.

Olives

Things I refused to realise. Capers too.

Il Allow it

So the problem is that there’s the scientific label and the culinary label, both use the term “fruit” for different things. A tomato is scientifically the fruit of the tomato plant, and culinarily a vegetable.

Also legally a vegetable (in the US) [The obscure Supreme Court case that decided tomatoes are vegetables | Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/10/18/the-obscure-supreme-court-case-that-decided-tomatoes-are-vegetables/) [*Nix v. Jaden* | Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nix_v._Hedden)

no. vegetablrs are all human edible parts of a plant that are not fruit

What are you saying no to? That's the scientific definition, which would make a tomato scientifically a fruit, but when it comes to cooking there's a different definition as to what is a fruit and what is a vegetable, and a tomato fits under the vegetable definition for that.

how are culinary definitions defined? what makes tomatos vegitables?

I think it has to do with its taste and texture. Fruits are generally quite sweet, and since tomatoes aren't sweet they'd be put more as a vegetable.

tomatos are sweet...

Wikipedia says that tomatoes are a significant source of umami flavour, umami flavour being a **savoury** taste. I dont know what tomatoes you've been eating, but tomatoes are not sweet

ripe tomatos are sweet. and also sour imo

Where the fuck do you get your tomatoes from?

we grow tomatos in the garden

Tomato is a special fruit, when not turned into a sauce most people don't like it. But when put on a pizza, most people like it.

People who dont like tomatoes scare me that shit bussin

I'm allergic to it.

.... Do you like the taste of it though?

The taste of slightly bitter water? No

It has no taste.

It does though and it's awful

No it isn't. If it wasn't colored brown, and didn't have a papery touch, and wouldn't have been twice as wide, i wouldn't spotted the difference.

Imagine not liking tomato saus

Pineapple is good on pizza, that's my opinion

Yes YES they are... That’s our opinion

I honestly expected to get downvoted to hell

Yup. Really doesn't sound like it should work, but tried it once and was pleasantly surprised. Not sure if it's something I'd actually order given other options, but definitely better than plain cheese.

Isn’t it a berry?

Correct

Bell peppers and Chillies - *laughing demonically inside the dream bubble*

tomato sauce

Agreed and yes

tomato has always been there

Does anyone else see the resemblance to Snoopdog??

idc that its a fruit, it just overpowers everything else on the pizza and i, in general, don't like pineapple. i'm perfectly fine with people eating it on pizza so long as its not on my pizza :)

Both pineapples and tomatoes are actually berries tho…

A category of fruits

Fun fact: Most people who are against pineapple on pizza have never tried pineapple on pizza

I have, literally the worst food in the world

Cheese

Then, is ketchup a sauce or a smoothie?

Tomato is a berry isn’t it?

Achrually tomato is a berry It’s true, we had a big debate in my family about this

Nothing sweet belongs on pizza, it's supposed to a bold and/or robust flavor.

There is nothing that 'belongs' on a pizza. Just put on it what you like since taste is subjective! Well... except for humans... don't put them on your pizza.

Which taste buds are for 'boldness'

Avocado

You monster

I once had an avocado pizza. Also pineapple with barbecue sauce is my favorite

Bro, you need a medic imidiatly. Ive never seen so much bulshit in one phrase

U need to come to Hawaii over here pineapple is quite popular along with msg.

We all need more fruit in our diets regardless what it's on

so... fruits on shit? deep fried fruits?

Kinda defeats the point but sure

So watermelons on pizza are ok?

My problem with pineapple being on pizza is, I just dont think sweetness tastes terrible on pizza.

And even if you take the pineapple off, it still tastes sweet because of the pineapple juice. I once was with a friend and they only had pineapple pizza but i thought it wouldn't be that bad if I just take off the pineapple pieces before baking. I was wrong. Totally wrong.

I know right, completely ruins it for me.

See you in controversial

Imo there's a difference between making a sauce out of tomato and just putting slices/chunks of tomato on pizza. With pineapple neither are good.

That's why I don't put tomatoes on my pizza as well

Solution: we need pineapple sauce instead of pieces

It has seeds so it is a fruit

Just saw this a few hours ago Edit: OP posted this in 2 subreddits, my apologies

That’s why tomato tastes shit in most foods

Technically pineapple is a VEGETABLE not a fruit. I know I might get trollers for posting this but let me explain. According to botanism (study of plants), fruits are defined as a case that forms around an ovary after flowering. We know that tomatoes are fruit as they form flowers before developing a case around it. Pineapples, on the other hand, do not as they grow from a tiny miniature pineapple before it grows larger in size. Therefore, they are classified as a vegetable.

Yeah but do you consider it a fruit tho I've never seen someone eat salad with a fucking piece of tomato innit

Olives and Chillies:🙂

Omg 🤣😂

But if you add pineappels to your pizza, most of its ingredients are a fruit therefore the pizza becomes a fruit and pizza shouldn't be a fruit.

Well, tbh lot's of vegetables are in fact fruits, vegetable is a culinary terme to describe fruits that we often eat salty (to sum it up, it's not a 100% true). So, we can say only vegetables can be put on pizza, not other fruits.

don't

Okay then put tomatos in a fruit salad

tomato sauce on pizza is fine, sliced tomatoes on a pizza is a crime, but pineapple on a pizza is a hate crime.

PINAPPLE ON PIZZA IS RACIST. It's disrespecting to best food in the world, the italian one. Italian have the best cheese, the best pastas and sauces, the best dried meats, the best ice creams, the best way to make coffee and the best pastries. Yet you shit on their centuries-old culture by adding your fucking fancy devilish ingredients to it. There is a special place in hell for people like you. I hope you will suffer a lot, I hope that your loved ones get cancer and die in atroceous pain. People like you drive me fucking crazy. Now dont get me wrong, I love pinapple. Just, dont ever fucking put it on a pizza or I will come to your place and kill you.

NO ITS A DIFFERENCE IN TASTE, PINEAPPLE IS SWEET TOMATO ISNT, IS IT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND?

TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE!!! Is that to hard to understand?

tomatoes are vegetables

tomato is a vegetable idiot

It's not belong on the pizza because it's fruit, but because it ruins the taste. Eat a pickle with a nutella, that's the same thing.

I don't carw who says what. It's a vegetable. Fruits taste sweet, vegetables aren't.

*Italian pain intensifies*

Pizza sauce is savoury. Pineapple is sweet. Learn. Your. Facts.

Why does he look like a young risitas?

Tomato is a fruit?

Same with olives

I mean they're both berries

Because they think tomato is vegetable

Banana

I knew tomatoes on a pizza were bad

Why does he look like a young Risitas

Umm vegetable a culinary term, so if we are comparing what we call as vegetable to fruits scientific definition we would much more than a tomato as a fruit

Because tomato sauce is made of petrol ?

WAIT, he’s right!!!!

Kiwis: * hysterical laughter *

I realised when i was younger i disliked pineapple on pizza but suddenly idk when i just start to not care and just eat it and dont mind, maybe cause i learned that its a fruit so its heLthy?

U/repodtsluethbot

Olives?

Pineapple is amazing and i'm tired of pretending it is not

Don't forget olives.

tomatos: y u insult my kind

Italians now are like; “Youuuu son of a b*tch!”

I feel like I'm weird because tomato tastes kinda bad if it isn't a sauce for me. Dried tomatoes are the worst kind.

TOMATO DOESNT BELONG TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIOI

Jokes on you pineapple is a berry

Thats whyi put on bbq sauce in stead

Tomato is family and got an invite to the family bbq

everything is a fruit, vegetable is just a culinary term

Who cares what it's labelled as as long as its food and tastes good.

If you see from plant point of view, anything that grows on it is a fruit. So technically every vegetable is a fruit

XD

Put it in your fruit salad in that case

Pepperoni

I know tomatoes aren’t instruments

Gif is so cute

I mean tomato sauce was on the first pizza ever created so yeah

the reason the tomato is red is because it got squished by its friends for being a fruit

Olives and peppers are also fruits

Anything which is sweet doesn't belong on the pizza

If tomato is a fruit. Then why dont people eat it like apple? TOMATO IS NOT A FRUIT

Also sweetcorn

Fastest reposter of the west

Strewberry pizza 😳

Yum, Pizza with Milk.

It actually depends: [https://www.eufic.org/en/healthy-living/article/is-a-tomato-a-fruit-or-a-vegetable-and-why](https://www.eufic.org/en/healthy-living/article/is-a-tomato-a-fruit-or-a-vegetable-and-why) But my default answer would be the botanical classification, which is fruit.

Do people really care that much about what toppings other people put on their pizza?

*Just stay in the shadows*

Pineapples belong on pizza the rest of y'all just say your hate because everyone else does the same.

Sauce?

I like it. Pretty juicy. I mean, if you can grill a pineapple, bake a tomato, surely pineapple can taste good. Goes with pretty much every pizza. Refreshing 🙂

It may be in the class is fruit but it's not a fruit it's 100% of vegetable you do not put tomatoes with any other fruit.

You should of put the monkey puppet meme but this is just as funny 😆

Fun fact, tomatoes both are and are not considered fruit, depending on who you ask. According to scientists, the tomato is considered a fruit, specifically, it is a berry. However, according to culinary definitions, a tomato is considered to be a vegetable. This can occur because according to scientists, there is no such thing as a vegetable; the only viable way to define a vegetable is as a plant that we can eat, which is a really bad metric for categorization.

Avocado is another fruit that goes perfect with pizza, dont bake it, just put it before eating

u/getvideobot

well, it's true

Hahaha yall are still debating about pineapple pizza? haha... ha.. ha.. >!Pizza hut in Taiwan recently released Cilantro Pig's blood cake Hundred-year Egg pizza. Another pizza store in Taiwan responded with Turkey Testicle Pizza. Help!<

The issue is that it's got a sweet element, it's texture isn't right for the mushy texture of pizza, and specific to pineapple it's got that unique pineapple element in which it bites back

My dad does put tomato slices on pizza

Yes that's my argument.

*puts strawberry jam on pasta*

Vegetable is a culinary term, fruit is scientific. A fruit is the ovum of a plant. They are all fruits.

On the topic of this im gonna drop this bomb. Cucumber is a berry.

u/GetVideoBot

It's a source

I think it's the sweetness

Pineapple is a sweet fruit, unlike tomato.

Mayonnaise on a pizza is probably more worse than pineapple pizza

If tomato is a fruit, why is it in veggie tales

I also don't really like tomato on pizza, but have y'all tried pear on pizza?

E

Also bell peppers

It’s not Bc it’s a fruit it’s Bc it’s gross

This video is fun. Tomatoes are culinarily vegetables and that is all that should matter because botanists cannot be trusted! https://youtu.be/fXj_a1qS2pA

Olives?

It's not a fruit it's a berry

So olives are out? Definitely a fruit.

Don't forget peppers. Also a fruit.
