A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

They're both. The term vegetable can mean either a part of a plant that people eat, or in a culinary sense it can refer to savory plant based foods that excludes things like grains, legumes, nuts, etc. In either case tomatoes, being both an edible part of a plant and savory gets to be a vegetable.
On a different level, botanically, not only is it a fruit, but it is a true berry.
So yeah, it can be, and is both things depending on the how you're looking at it.
I don't even know what "savory" means. What does that mean. I see it all the time but it means nothing to me.
It has 2 general meanings:
Savory is the English term for the fifth flavor, often called umami. Savory foods have a distinct flavor different from salt, sour, bitter, and sweet. Sometimes described as "meaty." Other high umami foods include soy-based foods and mushrooms.
One definition: food “belonging to the category that is salty or spicy rather than sweet.”
It’s a bit of an odd definition but it gets the gist across. An example of using savory: differentiating between pies with savory filling (meats, vegetables, etc) and sweet filling (fruits, custard).
To add to the other explanations, if you've ever had MSG it is literally THE savory flavor distilled. If you've ever had Cool ranch Doritos, the aftertaste is kind of savory.
Time to add a longer tail to the right side of the meme with your post on it with the transcendent "nuanced and complete position" wojak.
Carrots are pretty sweet
