It’s a fruit disguised as a vegetable.

Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

“Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!” #1 fungus movie of all time!

Tomatoes are both. The are fruits botanically/scientifically so are cucumbers and peppers but in culinary they are classified as vegetables in cooking. Even have been declared vegetables, legally, as part of trade and other things.

I like tomatoes, both cooked and uncooked, but I don’t like tomato soup :-(

Shawm showing he has more knowledge than Kate in this regard. Dad knowledge.

Your favorite monster movie?

I like The Thing from Outer Space (in large part because of the dialogue and characters and the relationship between Margaret Sheridan and Kenneth Tobey) and Alien (because I saw it in a movie theater and it was scary and because of Sigourney Weaver’s character).

One of the characters in Kate’s movie is played by Jack Riley, who will always be remembered as Mr. Carlin in the great sitcom “The Bob Newhart Show”.

Shawm is correct! My heirloom tomatoes came up beautifully this year! I’m planning on growing more!

I know I have become the weird “that’s amazing color” guy in the chat but, Nancy, that is amazing color!

So, the movie was crusty, sort of cheesy, and wound up with lots of pureed tomatoes. With a dash of oregano and some fresh basil, it would be pizza party worthy fare.I must admit, though the television cartoon series had a catchy theme song.

Actually, Kate, Shawm is right.

One of the best movies ever!! Love the theme

Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a classic bad cinema.

Night Of The Lepus is a good one to watch!

Don’t forget “The Stuff.” Marshmallow Fluff gone bad!

Tomatoes are fruits. Seeds inside = fruit. Parts of plants = vegetable (broccoli-flower, asparagus-stalk, spinach, kale, lettuce- leaves)

Legally they are vegetables for tariff reasons. Yes, they are actually fruit. I personally wouldn’t put them in a fruit salad.(edited)

Good choice Kat it’s a classic. Even the animated serie was good, at least for the kids of the 90s.

I put peaches in foods cooked with tomatoes. YUMMY!

The credits are a howl.

I was 12 when I first saw “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”.Horror movies make me laugh to this day.
