tomato

Tomato sits in a permanent gray area — botanically a fruit, culinarily a vegetable — and the emoji gets used for pasta sauce, salads, or as a symbol of getting 'roasted'/'tomato-throwing' criticism, echoing the old theatrical tradition of pelting a bad performer with tomatoes. Part of the original 2010 Unicode release, it's drawn as a simple round red fruit with a green calyx across all platforms.
