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.
