  They’re culinary vegetables. My wife likes to say it like this: intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing that it doesn’t go in a fruit salad.

    I always love the “explaining dnd stats with a tomato” bit:

    Strength is being able to throw a tomato really far. Dexterity is being able to catch the tomato thrown really far. Constitution is being fine after eating a bad tomato. Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing a tomato doesn’t go in fruit salad. Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.

    Also, obligatory “salsa is tomato in a fruit salad”.

      Isn’t a tomato the only fruit in salsa?

        …no, salsa is mostly peppers…

        You know you can just put whatever you want in your salsa right, no cop is gonna stop you. I have a very nice mango salsa the other night, it was only one step removed from a fancy fruit salad.

      And the obligatory response to the “tomato-based fruit salad” response: “found the bard!”

      Alternatively you could stick with the theme established by the first two stats and say that constitution is throwing a tomato really far repeatedly.

      Everyone loves my tomato/eggplant/pumpkin fruit salad. I bring it to parties, and they all say it looks so good, they want to make sure everyone else gets a chance to eat it. Except everyone says that, and I end up having to take it home and throw it out.

    Well, sweet tomato marmalade is actually quite tasty ;)

  Agreed. In my mind “bug” has always meant arthropod. So it’s include insects, spiders, crustaceans, etc.

  You wouldn’t say that if you ever tried those tomatoes …joins.com/…/20210117130800678.html

  I’d even call them candy.
