Is it a fruit or is it a veg?

I'm sure we've all heard the saying "Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad". But then the same could be said about many of the plants we treat as vegetables; in terms of meal planning, an aubergine, a pepper or a tomato all count as vegetables. 


These juicy tomatoes are stamped with a stamp set from the Sheena Douglass Kitchen Garden range and coloured with Promarkers. If you think the colour of the inside looks a bit odd, it's actually EXACTLY like the inside of the out-of-season supermarket tomato I had sliced open beside me to copy. If it had been a warm summer day and I had a home grown, sun ripened one posing for me I'm sure the result would have been much redder.

    Great bunch of tomatoes Jane - love the colours. As you say - is a fruit, is it a veg? Personally - add it to a salad but not a fruit salad as you say. Thank you for joining us at The Alphabet Challenge xx Lynda DT

    Did you know that there is a professional way to cut a tomato. It's supposed to stop the seeds falling out. Trouble is I can't remember which way. Well, it's over thirty years since I went to catering college. I'm full of rubbish facts like that. Thanks for joining us at the Alphabet Challenge. Love Dawn x
