Tomatoes don't taste red (hexbear.net)

Their colour is so misleading, because red food should be like really tangy and strong. Either sweet like a strawberry or cranberry, or savoury like ketchup. Tomatoes taste like they should be a pale green or yellow, but they're red. It's fucked up.

I used to think vegetables sucked as a kid. it wasn't until I started having access to some that hadn't been on a shipping container for 3 weeks and selectively bred to still look appealing after being on a shipping container for 3 weeks that I understood what the deal was.

Yup it's "vegetables just taste like bitter water" to "this is so tasty"

the difference between a tomato in a north american supermarket and a tomato from literally anywhere else is eye opening not only to the enjoyment of the food but also to the absolute state of modern agriculture
