Well, not all pies are desserts for sure, but a tomato pie is, unless you deviate from the usual recipes.
Besides, you didnât say that a dessert has to be a cake.
Thereâs also tomato jams, compote, and you can do a tomato cake mind you, a tomato cake is really more like banana bread, where itâs a flavoring more than the star of the show.
Point is that tomatoes can definitely serve in the same role as âfruitâ, just like some things that are sweeter can be used in savory dishes.
Itâs about the preparation, not the ingredient. I mean, look at bacon jam. Not a dessert, but itâs a savory and sweet spread thatâs used in the same was as fruit based jams. Onion jam is in the same range (and, as a side note, thereâs also onion and tomato pie which is more of a savory dish than a dessert, despite being fairly sweet anyway).
From a culinary standpoint, there are few ingredients that are fully excluded from dessert territory by virtue of having strong savory taste. Thereâs also not many excluded from entrees purely because theyâre sweet. Itâs all a wonderful spectrum of sweet and savory

I want my bananas to be the star of the bread show.
But to be fair, I am a horny slut for bananas.
I should look up some tomato stuff; Iâve never even heard of these things.

Banana bread may be the best baked good in human history.
