Congress, Republicans especially, wanted to declare the tomato sauce on pizza a vegetable. There are so many problems with my country and the ****head Republicans squander their time reaffirming the national motto, or something else like that. Pathetic!

Was Bernie Ecclestone on this Congress by any chance? Sounds like exactly the sort of thing he would some up with.

Whats wrong with the tomato sauce on Pizza's? I think its the cheese and grease that is the problem with pizza's

An authentic Italian pizza uses fresh tomato sauce and there is nothing wrong with that, pretty healty

Ah but we are forgetting that a tomato is technically a fruit.

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Oh thats new to me Really? What is the difference between a veggy and a fruit then?

 

[Péter Bártfai]

Tomato is a vegetable. Content differentiates vegetables and fruits mainly. But of course both fruits and vegetables contain a lot of valuable and important components.
The plant itself is in the family of potatoes btw.

 

[Chris Butcher]

Actually, botanically, the Tomato is a fruit. It is just treated and cooked as a vegetable

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

As long as meat is not a fruit or veggy I am good

 

[Péter Bártfai]

Anyways, the sauce is a product made from a vegetable. Especially because of the added components.
And the pizza can be max. vegetarian, but I prefer Hungarian (salami rules!) or Bolognese (spaghetti/macaroni/penne/lasagne/pizza, all good).

Well what can we all say but "Only in America". One would think they would of smartened up a bit after "Freedom Fries" but guess not.

To quote:


A glossy red, or occasionally yellow, pulpy edible fruit that is typically eaten as a vegetable or in salad.

You see I'm not a botanist. Product taxonomy tells it's a vegetable. Nutritional value wise it's like a vegetable, it's used like a vegetable. + here it's told in every school it's a vegetable, and tbh I never read the opposite anywhere until now. But I guess it doesn't really matter

yes tomato it's a fruit same for eggplants,cucumbers and zucchini.
There arent a line that divide clearly fruits from vegetables,we can say that fruits born from flowers (zucchini) vegetables from plants,but this definition it's not complete imho

I think it's the seeds that make it a fruit.
