tomatoes are awesome tho
I hate raw tomatoes. Stewed, sun dried, baked, in a Pico, salsa, whatever, but can't eat then by themselves for some reason
Have you tried adding salt? Not joking, a little salt on each bite is amazing on a fresh tomato
I still remember my first fresh tomato wedge with salt and fresh cracked pepper from a farmers market when I was a kid. It might be nostalgia but I haven't had a tomato that good since .
I'm the same way but I know exactly why. The goo like substance that the seeds come in makes me literally gag.
I'm generally the opposite. Pico is fresh enough, as is salsa, and some tomato sauces are fine, but I prefer fresh and firm.
Same here. And every time I say it someone pipes up with "well you just haven't had a good one." Well, I have had one that tomato-eaters say is really good. I've had it with salt, I've had it with pepper, I've even had it with sugar. It still tastes and feels like a tomato, and I don't like that.
I can understand. For me it's cucumber that I hate.
I have no problem with picked cucumber but fresh cucumber taste horrible for me.
I'm sure it's a delicious vegetable but it's not for me.
I can eat them very thin sliced but not raw otherwise for some reason.
I eat grape tomatoes like candy
grape tomatoes should straight up not be classed together with big tomatoes, they taste so different and are used differently.
It's like calling plums and cherries the same thing just because they're the same species, they taste wildly differently and you will get stares if you shove a whole plum in your mouth and spit the core out..
They taste very different I'm sure, if you like tomatoes, but if you don't, they taste awful fucking similar.
Try them sometimes with a bit of olive oil and salt!
Substitute MSG instead of salt if you really want to bring out the flavor! Add a slice of mozzarella to the mix, and a fresh basil leaf if you have it (not dried) and you've got yourself a tasty, healthy snack! (but please use real mozzarella, not that "low moisture partially skim" bullshit).
Pizza without the dough?
add some salt (and maybe oil)
They are, anyone who says otherwise is probably suffering through bad tomatoes. If the tomatoes aren't from somewhere local to you, they've probably been refrigerated and that destroys the flavour.
Also people don't always know the dark art of adding salt and pepper, then waiting a couple of minutes before using the tomatoes. It can even save supermarket tomatoes a little bit
