Life Story of a Vegetable?

The other day M and I mentioned the movie "The Bourne Ultimatum" in front of Claire. She looked at us quizzically and asked, "The Born Old Tomato"???

(Seriously, let's not get into the fruit vs. vegetable debate. I feel sorry for poor tomatoes, caught in the crossfire... For the purposes of this post, I speak from a culinary rather than botanical standpoint. And if any tariffs come into play, at least we have the Supreme Court ruling Nix v. Hedden to settle things.)
