I still hate tomatoes and you'll never convince me otherwise
They have some ketchup slices for you
Tomatoes are made to be robust and to ripen extremely slowly while reddening quickly. You get a fruit that's really firm and tasteless because it's pulled off the vine too soon, but it ships well so stores don't give a fuck. This is why canned tomatoes have a stronger flavor and are recommended more often for sauces etc, because they're cultivars bred for flavor, not structure, harvested at maximum ripeness, and locked there by canning. If you don't fuck with tomatoes because they're mid as hell, a can of San Marzanos on a pizza could change your mind.
Until you have a fresh San Marzano or some kind of heirloom chopped up with a bit of salad, olive oil and parsley on toaster bread, and suddenly your life is transformed forever.
the texture and wetness of a tomato slice are pretty of-putting but apparently most people don't give a shit about texture
I very much give a shit about texture and have strong opinions about which textures I absolutely will not eat.
A tomato slice on a sandwich rules! That's a great texture!
People can have different preferences to you and it doesn't mean they're thoughtless.
They’re used in sandwiches for their wetness/texture
Something in the aroma just reads like rot to me and no amount of cooking helps. A healthy tomato plant still in the ground smells like yard waste and so does your grandma's marinara that she simmers for eight hours. But then I don't like ketchup either. Some vinegar is fine but even a little ketchup drowns out everything else.
tomato plants smell fucking weird for sure but it comes from the vine, not the fruit. something's gone very wrong if that smell is getting into your pasta sauce
Then there's been something very wrong with every tomato I've ever encountered.
Sorry, I don't mean for this to sound like a clapback or an insult or something, but could it be something to do with your nose? Are there any other common foods that smell really bad to you but fine to everyone else?
