Do you consider melon a fruit or a melon?

When people talk about fruits it's usually orange, apple, plum, peach, etc (no Melons).

The melons I have ate. The best one is first.

1.Honeydew

2.Watermelon

3. Cantaloupe or Muskmelon

4. Yellow Melon or Dua Gan or Korean Melon

I consider melons part of a different group, what about you?

A tomato is, botanically speaking, a fruit. Whether or not something tastes good has nothing to do with whether or not it's a fruit.

Well, I said "botanically". It's considered a vegetable by culinary standards since its uses in meals are generally adjacent to vegetables, and pretty well never adjacent to fruits. But, nevertheless, it contains seeds inside it which can be planted, which makes it a fruit by botanical standards.

No. They are fruit. People who say otherwie will be at war with me. Like you are now at war with me.

You want war? I'll give you your war (No voilence).

Rules:

1. Fruits only, Do not use any other weapons(exclude spiky and hard shell fruits.)

2. No tackling or any form of body vs. body, only throwing fruits.

3. No using vehicles or any other equipments

4. Make a fort 2 metre high allowed only.

5. No underground tunnels allow.

6. No using planes, helicopte, or any other flying equipments.

7. No explosives fruits.

8. Do not add anything into the fruits.

I think it would be a difficult case to make that a melon is not a melon...

Epigynous berries are actually false berries. Same way many fruits are actually epigynous fruits.
