I once saw a little blurb at a sandwich shop stating that tomatoes are fruit, but if you pair them on a sandwich with jalapenos, you're getting both fruits and vegetables. I demand better scientific accuracy in restaurant marketing signs.

Now I wonder if jalapenos are fruit too (scientifically)

Very much so. Bell peppers and jalapenos are fruits from different strains of capsicum annuum. Biologists apparently don't agree on whether all chilli/paprika stuff is capsicum annuum, what's for sure is that they're all very closely related.
