If you live somewhere you can grow tomatoes, do it. There’s nothing like a fresh off the vine tomato you grew yourself.

Also they taste way better than grocery tomatoes (assuming you’re in the US)

I used to hate fresh tomatoes and basically anything with tomato when I was a kid. Now I’ve got used to every thing that’s made out tomatoes but still can’t eat fresh/raw tomatoes. I think it’s the texture for me and sometimes it’s okay to not like some things.

I hated tomatoes growing up. As an adult I realized it all comes down to the texture, my parents would always cut them with dull knives and manhandle them until they were all mushy. Cut them with sharp knives and keep them slightly firm and they’re suddenly 1000% better.

I used to hate tomatoes too. couldn’t figure out why my brother and mother would eat them all the time. they dipped them in salt even. At some point I started liking foods made with tomatoes like pizza and so on. The point at which tomatoes started making sense to my is when I worked out they were a fruit, so rather than waiting for a savoury taste I knew I was getting a slightly less sweet grape. And then I deduced from that you could have a grape and Camembert sandwich. If you haven’t tried this combo, you’re missing out.
