Food associated with booing (6)

I believe the answer is:

tomato

(Other definitions for tomato that I've seen before include "A motto, oddly, for this fruit" , "Love apple (archaic)" , "A motto, strangely, for this fruit" , "that's suitable to eat" , "It used to be call a love-apple" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
