Mixed Tomato Fruits
[1] Botanically, yes, a tomato is a fruit. But so are cucumbers and
chili peppers, while rhubarb, carrots, and sweet potatoes are botanically
vegetables but occasionally considered culinary fruits. For example,
EU
Council Directive 2001/113/EC of 20 December 2001 relating to fruit
jams, jellies and marmalades and sweetened chestnut purees intended
for human consumption says "for the purposes of this Directive,
tomatoes, the edible parts of rhubarb stalks, carrots, sweet potatoes,
cucumbers, pumpkins, melons and water-melons are considered to be
fruit".
[2] Peach, plum, apricot, cherry, etc. Lime, lemon, orange, grapefruit, pomello, tangerine, etc. Raspberry, blackberry, wineberry, black raspberry.
[3] I also noticed blackberries taste strange here. All the ones I've tried here taste the same, except for a few wild ones which taste like American ones. The strange flavor is strongest raw, less strong as juice, and almost completely masked in a milkshake [4] or ice cream. A picture, in case someone can identify this cultivar:
Blackberries
[4] Not a frappe.
