Is a tomato a fruit or a vegetable?
Saved by uncleflo on May 6th, 2018.
The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example. As far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits, such as tomatoes or bean pods, may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example. So, the answer to the question is that a tomato is technically the fruit of the tomato plant, but it's used as a vegetable in cooking.

Using Vegetable oil as a diesel fuel - introduction
Saved by uncleflo on July 14th, 2013.
A very clever man called Rudolf Diesel invented a new type of engine that operated at a higher compression ratio and didn't have spark plugs. The first thing that he noticed was that it was about 30% more efficient than a petrol engine and, also, he could run it on vegetable oil! Very quickly, the engine became adapted for use with fossil fuels since they were, and still are, very much cheaper than vegetable oil and Rudolf's second idea became forgotten.
