Yeah the general public will mostly agree that tomatoes, cucumbers, ect are vegatables.
I think most would call peppers a fruit though.

In danish we even call them pepper-fruits (when we say pepper, we generally refer to the peppercorns in the salt/pepper shakers, type pepper).

There's an easy way to find out whether it's a fruit or vegetable. If kids won't eat it, it's a vegetable :)

Peppers are called Paprika in the Netherlands. That name is only used here for peppers in powder form. It's mainly Bell peppers in green, red, yellow and orange that get grown / sold here. There are many different kinds of peppers. And yup ground peppercorns is also called pepper here.

When the tomato debate went to court they did decided to tax it as a vegetable because most people refer to it as one but they added "although botanically speaking they are actually a fruit." so i guess i speak botanically. I don't care that much if people want to call it a vegetable so this will be my last comment on the matter.
