While there is a clear biological definition of fruit there is no biological definition of vegetable. So why can't something be a fruit and a vegetable at the same time. Why can't a tomato be a fruit vegetable?
Using "fruit vegetable" would solve all issues because I can't think of any culinary fruits that are not also biological fruit. So no word is needed for the opposite situation. The whole confusion stems from the idea that something must either be fruit or vegetable. End the binary state of fruits and vegetables!
Wait I thought about it for a couple more minutes and there are humongous amounts of biological fruits that are not culinary fruits. Wheat, rice, sunflower seeds, almonds, basically any grain or seed. Well nevertheless I like the concept of fruit vegetable. But I do admit my point just became weakened.
Philosopher here, there is the idiom "fruits of our labour", therefore outcomes of labour, for example: this pizza I baked, can also be considered a fruit of that labour.
Therefore Pizza itself is a fruit!
