I don't know what you are thinking when the standard you  
mention is a culinary one. But I learned that the "is it a  
fruit, is it a vegetable" debate stems around which part of the  
MEAL the plant is used.  If the plant is part of the main mean,  
then it is vegetable. If it is part of a dessert, then it is a  
fruit.

Humans (or the culinarian variety) didn't like the idea of  
eating fruits as a main meal, so they simply referred to main- 
meal plants as veggies. The term vegetable is simply made up to  
delude oneself.

But it still does not change the tomato's botanics as a fruit.

So.. when you order a standard pizza, it comes with the tomato  
fruit sauce!   :D
