    There is a definition of a fruit though, and it is understood that vegetables are not fruit. As I understand it.

      Sure, but tomatoes are a fruit botanically (more precisely, a berry). “Vegetable” is a culinary term, and has no real strict definition beyond “a plant grown to be eaten”, so a tomato falls squarely into being a berry, a fruit, and a vegetable.
