In citing the Nix v. Hedden case on Wikipedia’s ‘Tomato’ page, you should also include the part of Wikipedia’s ‘Vegetable’ page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegetable) wherein, referring to the same case, it continues to state that “The court did acknowledge, however, that, botanically speaking, a tomato is a fruit.”

I’m researching the same thing here. It’s actually a matter in court where a vendor was arrested because he had no license to sell vegetables as a “market” produce…but was allowed to sell fruits. A pumpkin is a fruit…

That question was posed on Yahoo Answers and the best response was, "Technically, the bell pepper is a fruit, since it contains the seeds of the plant, but in a cookery context it is usual to refer to it as a vegetable since it has a savoury taste."

if it has seeds it is a fruit – squash, tomato, cucumber, pumpkin, avocado, capsicum- they are all fruit!
