As for example, tomato, water melon and mask melon are vegetables in the United States of America (USA) whereas they are fruits in United Kingdom (UK). Peapods are the most common fruit that are mistakenly labelled as vegetables in the UK.They are some vegetables or fruits name given  below which considered by their use sometimes they called vegetables and sometimes they called fruits-

5) Pumpkin
6) Pepper
