Tomato

A tomato is a fruit, but it is legally known as a vegetable. In 1893, there was a case before the United States Supreme Court about importing tomatoes from the West Indies. Fruits could be imported tax-free, vegetables couldn't. Since tomatoes were eaten with main dishes, and not as or with desserts, the Court ruled them to be a vegetable.
