definition: A tomato is a round red fruit that is not sweet in the way that other fruits are. Because it tastes very different from other fruits, we usually call a tomato a vegetable. Tomatoes are often served in vegetable salads, but they are also cooked and made into sauce. The sauce is often used on pizza and spaghetti.
Paul doesn't like raw tomatoes, but he likes tomato soup and spaghetti sauce.
