What constitutes something as a berry?
It's basically their anatomy. If they have seeds in them, they are berries. Fruits with a kernel like peaches are drupes. Multiple drupes fused together are polydrupes like a raspberry.
Then there are weird stuff like apples and strawberries whose flesh is not part of the fruit because it doesn't come from the plant's ovary.
Knowledge tells us tomatoes a fruit. Wisdom tells us not to put them in a fruit salad.
Scientific vs culinary definitions.
Science also says toy breeds are dogs but I have my doubts.
A tomato based fruit salad is just salsa
