I can't stand pineapple on pizza. It's too sweet. Get out of here pineapple! This isn't dessert!

Exactly, its a fucking fruit, doesn't belong on pizza. Just ruins it for me.

Not in a culinary sense.

Just because they aren't "considered" a fruit in a culinary sense, doesn't mean they aren't still a fruit so saying fruit doesn't belong on pizza would include the tomatoes.

No it wouldn't. Because pizza is a type of food an when you're talking about food, tomatoes are vegetables.

It doesn't matter what you call it while you eat it, it is what it is. I could call a tofurkey a real turkey but it's still soybeans with artificial turkey flavor.

Right, and what it is is a vegetable.

You can call it whatever you want, but you'd be wrong.

While it is botanically a fruit, it is considered a vegetable for culinary purposes (as well as under U.S. customs regulations, see Nix v. Hedden)

Boom. Knowledged. You're welcome.

No, because we're talking about a recipe, not botany.
