    They’re culinary vegetables. My wife likes to say it like this: intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit, wisdom is knowing that it doesn’t go in a fruit salad.

      I always love the “explaining dnd stats with a tomato” bit:

      Strength is being able to throw a tomato really far.

      Dexterity is being able to catch the tomato thrown really far.

      Constitution is being fine after eating a bad tomato.

      Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit.

      Wisdom is knowing a tomato doesn’t go in fruit salad.

      Charisma is being able to sell a tomato based fruit salad.

      Also, obligatory “salsa is tomato in a fruit salad”.

            I hadn’t but wasn’t thinking of them as fruit, also has a lot of onions which also isn’t a fruit.

          You know you can just put whatever you want in your salsa right, no cop is gonna stop you. I have a very nice mango salsa the other night, it was only one step removed from a fancy fruit salad.

        Alternatively you could stick with the theme established by the first two stats and say that constitution is throwing a tomato really far repeatedly.

        Everyone loves my tomato/eggplant/pumpkin fruit salad. I bring it to parties, and they all say it looks so good, they want to make sure everyone else gets a chance to eat it. Except everyone says that, and I end up having to take it home and throw it out.
