Burkingam:
Cucumber
It's just as much of a fruit as tomato. So I choose it.
Cypher:
Apples, Lemons then Strawberries.
Do dates from palm trees count as a fruit?

Very common misconception, I think Chya knows that too and added tomato just as a bait for the unenlightened.
Tomato is just one of them, cucumber, pumpkin, beans and bell pepper are all fruits that are too often mistaken as vegetables.

"Vegetable" is a term with a culinary meaning. "Fruit" has two different meaning: Botany and culinary.
"In botany, a "fruit" is a part of a flowering plant that derives from specific tissues of the flower, mainly one or more ovaries"(wikipedia). Vegetable doesn't have a specific botanic meaning.
In culinary art, fruit and vegetable both represent food cumming from plants. The main difference is that fruits are sweat and vegetables are not. That's very subjective and we rely mainly on conventions to classify them. Several culinary "fruits" are not fruits biologically and several vegetables are actually fruits.
Tomatoes are not very sweat so it used to be classified as a vegetable but people have started to debate that for botanic reasons a decade or two ago. But that's a common misconception.

I've tasted Durian ... thought it was a dried in a can ... it did have an interesting smell & taste, but it was not to my liking. It was a gift to the staff of the comapny I worked for at the time from the Factory Owner / Manager that we work with to product our products.
Also ... Don't care if TOMATOES area fruit or veggie ... I still love them, but sometimes they don't love me ... T-T ... I get a stomach ache.

I think your dad is like me & prefers the firmness of bananas when they are on the greener side ... then again here in Hawaii there are a few cooked dishes that are made with green bananas.
