I feel like we need a cooking definition of fruits and vegetables vs the scientific ones.

Which science though?

Nutrition and Botany might differ on this one.

My personal way of thinking of it is:

Fruit is tangy and/or sweet

Smushy with seeds on the outside: Berry.

Vegitable is kind of bland. (but healthy AF)

This is the unwritten universal definition

Vegetable: Or bitter and leafy.

I think tomato fits under the fruit of this definition but like, I would never eat it with fruit.

I don’t understand

Tomato is a vegitable and I don't care about why it isn't.
