Me and my hubby were having bet about tomato if its fruit or vegtable. We started this funny bet when we were in grocery few hours ago. I influenced the tradition in Chinese, to have 12 different round fruits in new year, means a whole year of happines, prosperous and success next year. So, I just found 11 fruits so far at that time. And I've seen the tomato and started asking if its a fruit but he doesn't agree. So what do you think? A fruit or vegtable?

A tomato is a vegetable fruit.You can still use to make your new year prosperous by putting it in a bowl to welcome the new year.I am using real fruits like chico, pineapples,apples,pears,oranges,mandarins,papaya,avocado,grapes,guava,melon,water melon,and many other fruits,to greet the new year.

Are you not residing in the country? So you are in another country for a purpose of working or married to a foreigner.I wish I could hold a apricot and other fruit which are only found in cold countries.I have already seen a blue berry,which I only seen in a preserved jam jar.In wish your fruits would be complete 12 pieces, so that your fortunes would be granted as you have welcome the new year.Happy new year to you.
