Okay, my real question was it originally from the Americas? I've already found peace with the fruit/vegetable thing.

Yes, it's a new world fruit, just as corn and potato...It appeared as an exotic ingredient in European courts after the discovery of America to become a basic ingredient of Mediterranean cuisine

Yes, they were discovered by Spanish explorers in South and Central America and were brought back to Europe. Italians found that the Mediterranean climate produced excellent tomatoes.

It's a fruit cuz anything with a core in the the middle is considered a fruit.

Tomatoes are a fruit, high in Vitamin C....Don't let anyone tell you that Bloody Marys are not good for you.

Tomatoes have always been a fruit.

In the superstore, fruits are usually chosen much too soon. Some are rocks, many are bad. Some of the fresh vegetables are typical right (zucchini, onions, garlic, lettuce, greens, and a few others) so I'd have to go with vegetables.
