frozenFor real, though, I wish I liked tomatoes, they're everywhere
AutocheeseI feel exactly like this and want to change, but have no idea how to begin. All sliced/diced tomatoes are gag worthy to me, and entire sandwiches have been ruined if tomato was slipped in there.
Its like the only food aversion I have other than cucumbers. If anyone has any tips to overcome let me know
Helldiver_MIdk, it's fine to not like certain foods. For me, it's mushrooms. The texture is all wrong and the flavor doesn't make up for it.
blazeraSo in our hubris to create perfectly uniform red tomatoes, we accidentally bred out some sugar producing genes. Highly recommend trying an heirloom tomato, several old varieties from before we lost those genes. If youre lucky enough your grocer might have some, better odds with a farmers market but not guaranteed. The seeds are pretty easy to come by and its not too late to plant some this season.
This might sound obvious, but be ready to sample quite a few varieties of heirloom tomato to see which ones you like. Many varieties are just as bland as modern beef steak but others are unexpectedly, and beautifully, fruity. Don’t accidentally buy pounds of duds, get samples!
ive tried several varieties and theyve all been much more flavorful.
Im pretty sure the most common variety is brandywine. If you dont wanna trial and error this ones an easy recommend.
