Comment on Strawberries are nuts š

Besides, you didnāt say that a dessert has to be a cake.
Thereās also tomato jams, compote, and you can do a tomato cake mind you, a tomato cake is really more like banana bread, where itās a flavoring more than the star of the show.
Point is that tomatoes can definitely serve in the same role as āfruitā, just like some things that are sweeter can be used in savory dishes.
Itās about the preparation, not the ingredient. I mean, look at bacon jam. Not a dessert, but itās a savory and sweet spread thatās used in the same was as fruit based jams. Onion jam is in the same range (and, as a side note, thereās 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. Thereās also not many excluded from entrees purely because theyāre sweet. Itās 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; Iāve never even heard of these things.

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