The scallion/green pepper scare was the final nail in the coffin for Chi-Chi's, they were already on thin ice. That finished them.

Tomatoes are actually considered a fruit versus a vegetable...but most people refer to them as a veggie.

Enough of my useless knowledge...

As if gas prices weren't enough to set high prices for tomatoes...now this salmonella scare BS...geesh.

I also tomatoes.

No need to consider anything.. tomato = fruit. Also, corn = fruit. Well actually, each individual kernel is a piece of fruit.

Advocado? It has a seed inside. Is that a fruit?

A fruit is the structure growing as a result of a fertilization, which occurs after a plant flowers. Not all fruits will gernimate into a plant..

Any other part of the plant not resulting directly from a fertilization, or any part existing pre-fertilization, can be considered a vegetable.. or an herb. There is no good definition of a vegetable though.. it's basically anything other than an animal or mineral that is not the result of a fertilization.
