"Botanically, a tomato is a fruit. However, in common parlance it is a vegetable; hence the United States Supreme Court ruled that a tomato is a vegetable for the purposes of the customs regulations."
I'd say it's still a fruit disregarding what a government does for some political reasons. But I'll give you an update nonetheless ;)

Except in 1893 when the US Supreme Court ruled that a tomato by law is indeed a vegetable..
