    I believe the point is non-sweet, tomatoes are often quite sweet without any cooking required

      Yes, but bell peppers are also quite sweet. As a kid I learnt that vegetables are from perennial plants (only live for a year) but that rule of thumb is also inconsistent.

      Vegetable refuse to be categorised. Become unrulable.
