mater tots

Cherry or grape tomatoes. The term is used primarily to confuse young children into eating their vegetables by making them think they've got something to do with 'tater tots'.

Ella - "I don't like these. They're vegetables".
Me - "Those aren't regular vegetables, they're mater tots - just like tater tots."
Ella - "OK, mmmm!"
