So the bigger the circle, the better they will pair with lemon and taste yummy?

Yep! All of those ingredients pair with lemon and the ones with a bigger circle also combine well as a triple.

We use lemon extensively in Greek cuisine, but never with any of the veggies here. Potatoes, rice, spinach, leeks, meat, fish, even fried cheese (not feta) would be there for us. Certainly never on tomatoes, which are acidic enough on their own.

Edit: On Kale and artichoke yes, only theur're not that common.

Yes, your point about tomato being acidic enough is interesting because it highlights a flaw in this model of food pairing. The theory is that food that have common molecules go together but as you say that can lead to (for example) over acidic food. I think a more useful model needs to consider the balance of flavours.
