Tomato apologists always pretend there's some big mystery behind the tomato>Oh, you don't like because you never had a good one>You should taste the one from my Nonna's yardThere isn't. It just a watery disgusting vegetable like many others. It makes a good sauce, yes but eating a raw tomato is one of the most grim things in cuisine.
>>20440012cherry tomatoes are nice
Did Uma Thurma justify tomatoes? Seems like only fags would hate them after that.
>>20440012feels good being able to unreservedly enjoy god's creations instead of complaining about it like some undeveloped manchild
>>20440012>tomato>vegetableYou’re a fucking idiot, son.
>>20440012i have this same opinion about bananas and celery
>>20440015Yeah there's satisfying about the "pop" and the contrast between the skin and the juicy innards, you don't get as much of that with regular size tomatoes..... but.....>>20440012You can fix anything with enough cheese.
>>20440012it's a fruit you retarded, uncultured imbecile. without tomatoes, great things like salsa, sauces, and ketchup wouldn't exist.
>>20440012I remember tomatoes being good my childhood but every tomato I’ve eaten in the last couple decades has been mealier than shit. I don’t know what happened there.
>>20440110Tomatoes turn mealy when they're refrigerated.
>>20440029Lots of vegetables are fruits. Vegetable is a culinary term for plants commonly used in savory cooking. Yes, tomatoes are fruits. Bell peppers are fruits. Broccoli is a flower. They’re still fucking vegetables.
>>20440116Technically broccoli is a legume, but it's autistic to insist on this outside of academic circles.
>>20440012You have to be at least 12 to post here
>>20440129>Technically broccoli is a legumebullpoop
>>20440129And technically my cock is the size of a newborn chihuahua
>>20440012I'm sorry you don't like delicious things.
>>20440129No it isn't. Broccoli is a brassica. Brassicas and legumes are not closely related at all other than they're both offshoots of the rose family.
Tomatoes warm from the sun directly from the garden are indeed good, but I won't eat raw store bought tomatoes.
>>20440179Yeah, tomatoes like a lot of fruit go through a pretty big flavor and texture change when they are refrigerated. All grocery store tomatoes are not only refrigerated, but picked way underripe for transport purposes. So someone who's only ever had them from a store won't know what they're actually like.
>>20440176>he doesn't know about the other legumesLike I said, if you're not at least a PhD candidate in horticulture or an allied field, it's not worth discussing.
>>20440012Tomatoes are scientifically considered a berryAs are pumpkins, cucumbers, watermelons, and bananas
>>20440260DNA tells us that bananas are more closely related to marsupials.
>>20440215Well I know a good bit about this so lay it out for me then. Broccoli is in the brassica family of cabbage, kale, mustards etc and beans are in the legume family of peas, beans, lentils etc. The legume family. Those are in completely different plant orders. You have to go back to the clade of rosids to where they are in the same grouping. So botanically they aren't closely related so in what sense are they? The closest I can think is the French origin of where the term legume comes from but that seems like a stretch even for here.
>>20440022Low IQ pedant trying to score an own without actually understanding basic human conversations, or the history of referring to tomatoes as vegetables.
>>20440025>No Balsamic Vinegargrim
>>20440012There's no mystery you're just a sheltered retard
>>20440012Salt them
I love tomato so much, I will have just a tomato sandwich. Little salt and pepper on a thick slice of tomato is ridiculously enjoyable. I need to buy more tomatoes
>>20440330>balsamic vinegar in Capreseshiggy diggy
>>20440289He's just retarded, so thanks for calling him out
>>20440012Kill yourself cock gobbler
>>20440176Female underwear has nothing to do with this
I say that about avocados and IPAs, because often times people who think they don't like them have just simply never had one that was ripe or fresh. But if you don't like something as basic bitch as tomatoes/onions/olives/mushrooms, I'm just going to call to a pathetic widdle baby picky eater, because that's what you are. Full stop, end of discussion.
>>20440022Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing that it doesn't belong in a fruit salad.
>>20440289>Well I know a good bit about thisPublic university? Sorry, we just move in different circles.
even bad tomatoes are good with some salti wanna try ugly tomatoes
>>20440012There are two kinds of tomatoes in my life: Cento canned San Marzanos, and farmer's market tomatoes from April to November. I have little to no interest in fresh supermarket tomatoes.
>>20440012Why did you come to a cooking forum just to bitch about an ingredient you don't like? What do you get out of it? How does this conversation elevate your mind, body or soul in any way?But I used to dislike tomatoes. Then I grew up and stopped being a picky autist.
>>20440116>They’re still fucking vegetables.you lost meno they're not?
>>20441190vegetable | ˈvejtəbəl, ˈvejədəbəl |noun1 a plant or part of a plant used as food
I was pretty indifferent to fresh tomato until I grew some cherokee purples one year, really great flavor and a really meaty fruit.
>>20441207looks disgusting, i'd try it. raw? seasonings? sandwich?
>>20441234They were the first tomato I had raw and liked, they're good with some salt/pepper and great on a sandwich.
>>20440012https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PE_TPYdCssA
>>20441407Fucking right wing propaganda Fuck off with that shit
>>20440012I will continue enjoying eating tomatoes like I would an apple and there's nothing you can do about it. Fresh tomatoes on a warm day is one of the greatest joys of life.
>>20440025That's different tastes for you, I hate the 'pop' of a cherry tomato. Makes me think of eating an eyeball.
>>20441893Easy there, Denethor.
>>20440012
>>20440025>there's satisfying about the "pop" and the contrast between the skin and the juicy innards
>>20440019God created fat cocks too, happy for you that you unreservedly enjoy them
>>20441004What an inane thing to say. My day is ruined
>>20440012you actually haven't had a good one. go get euthanized you burdensome autist
>>20440022Sick digits, also OP is a turbofaggot
Huh? There are people who dislike tomatos? Interesting, I love them. They are like meaty fruit so yummy and fresh. Weird people
>>20440012>Tomato apologists always pretend there's some big mystery behind the tomatothere is no mystery, people that don't like tomato's are faggots and they are being polite to not offend you.
>>20440129technically it's a sandwich
>>20440116>Lots of vegetables are fruitsWhat, like all your boyfriends?
>>20442224Hmmmm no noVery unwise Shameful
>>20441931They'll just never fuckin understand and its so complicated to explain it to someone who doesn't have the same view. I always saw tomatos as a slimy tasteless mess with a mealy planty texture at the same time, plus acids and dirty water flavor. Oh then to finish it all off; either a leathery skin or one thats simlar to eating that crust at the top of a soup. I will go through a pint of my favorite salsa though. Can't explain it; love tomato things, hate raw tomatoes.
>>20440012you don't like because you never had a good one
i learned just the other day that for a couple hundred of years europeans memed each other into thinking tomatoes were poisonous and in general almost nobody ate tomatoes.
>>20440016she did a fucking telethon for them, show some respect
>>20441004savory fruit salad is excellent thoughhttps://www.thecomfortofcooking.com/2012/05/avocado-corn-and-mango-salad.html
>>20441011if you're so educated you should be able to explain. I think you're full of shit.
>>20441199so your spice rack is loaded with vegetables?
>>20440012>It just a watery disgusting vegetable this is a man who has never had a beefsteak tomato.
>>20444318spices aren't nutritious and thus not food
>>20442587I kind of liked tomatoes, until I had a vine ripened one. that ruined tomatoes for me, because where I live it is difficult to grow them. vine ripened are light years better than any tomato you can buy in a store.
>>20444386>spices aren't nutritiouswrong, they're packed with anti-oxidants and vitamins
>>20440136plenty of fat fuck adults don't like tomatoes
>>20444458i guess they're food then, fuckface
>>20444527so your spice rack is loaded with vegetables?
>>20444455I think the cultivar makes a huge difference, both for hardiness of the plant and flavor. you may be able to find some quick growing hardy variety that works where you live. grow bags also help a ton due to being able to use potting soil and how they air-prune the roots.
>>20444549oh and another useful aspect of growbags is they can be started inside and also brought back inside if it's going to be too cold or something
>>20440553I'm gunna have one of those tomorrow, that sounds so good
Bad tomatoes are fucking disgusting and are amongst the most awful things on the planet. A good tomato, in contrast, is simply divine.
>>20444650i like the bad ones too to be honest. The only ones I cant bear is the whiteish ones. I dont know where they get them but it should be a health code violation
>>20444707Those are unripe green tomatoes that are grown in hot houses, they are shipped in nitrogen purged containers that make them turn redp0nkx
>>20444707bear this cock in your ass
>>20443933>memed each other into thinkingThat's unironically what happened. 16th century European peasants were basically no different than Qanon types.
>>20444549it can get up to 125 degrees here in the summer.most plants just fucking die around june.to grow a garden here I would have to:do a raised bed. install a drip irrigation system, cover the entire garden with 50% sun netting. all this to get some tomatoes.and still they just fucking die from the heat.I oncee tried to grow grapes. I'll save you the story, when all was said and done my grapes (when I got some) cost me about $50 a pound. I am not kidding.
>>20440022Tomatoes might be a fruit botanically, but culinarily it's a vegetable.
>>20445178grow super spicy peppers
>>20440012tomatoes are great so long as you use them as an ingredient. eating a raw tomato is akin to eating raw flour
Sometimes I'll slice up a tomato, sprinkle some salt on the slices, and eat it just like that. great snack
>>20444899It was more that nobles were always doing and eating crazy shit to impress and one up each other, and the lower classes tried to imitate them. generally speaking
>>20445441The mad man
>>20445459Tomatoes aren't crazy shit, though. They used pewter plates and the acidity of the tomatoes released the caused lead to leach into their food, which caused them to blame tomatoes. They were also grouped in with other types of nightshade for a long time, which just led to the idea that they were poisonous.
>>20440012Unironically agree. Raw tomato is repulsive and triggers me to vomit instantly. However, sauces and the like, immaculate.
>>20442172>thread about tomatoes>reply about tomatoes>sidestep to talk about cocksanon it says more about you
>>20440012tomato as is is pretty bad imo. but as a bolognese yum
>>20441207I haven't had luck with Cherokee purples. They taste great but always yield very poorly. Half the time they rot on the vine before they're even ripe and it's not blossom end rot. There's plenty of calcium and magnesium in the soil and I even foliar feed with calmag+. I didn't bother with them this year. For dark tomatoes this year I went with black cherry and black prince, which have both done very well in the past.
>>20440110>I don’t know what happened there.Mega grocery store profit margins happened.
once you try a true homegrown fresh from the garden tomato you'll understand why it's a fruit not a vegetable
>>20445204I don't want "super" spicy peppers. I like spicy food, cayenne is about the hottest I like. I have grown them but they aren't any better than what you can get from a store.
>>20440012>ugh apples? no thanks, apples are all disgusting, just look at picrel, you can't tell me that apples are actually red and delicious despite the nameanon you are a tastelet and a retarded faggot
