jamie Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Okay so I for one love tomatoes, i ask for extra in my salads all the time, but I know a lot of people who don't like them! I can't fathom how anyone can dislike them yet like pickles instead! What is your stance on the tomato discourse?
Babycat Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I like tomatoes, though I don't actually love them. And I can't stand pickles. 1
Ancient Ways Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I'm a tomato fan. I've been known to bring an entire tomato to work for lunch and eat it like an apple. 1
ReRushed Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Salads, sandwiches and sauce. Tomatoes rule. 2
JohnnyBlaze Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) Besides the obvious use for sauces...burgers, sandwiches, salads, tacos, and a whole mess of stuff I'm too lazy to type. I don't love them (I like 'em) but the food world is a better place with them. However, I don't like tomato juice. I'm inserting a write-in vote option of:I like tomatoes and have them in some form at least a few times a week. Edited February 4, 2017 by JohnnyBlaze

pjbear05 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Had to say neutral. I take em' and leave 'em, depending on style, and fresh or canned. Fresh, love Beefsteak and Roma tomatoes. Slice up a beefsteak, a slab of fresh mozzarella on top, drizzled with balsamic dressing. Roma's in salads, for sauces, and juiced in the Nutribullet. with other veggies. A regular big tomato diced up and added to tabbouleh, yum. However I cannot stand those nasty grape tomatoes. Canned, I use then whole, peeled, crushed diced, sauce, & paste. Grabbed some Muir Glen organic diced and MG tomato paste to make turkey & pumpkin chili for the game tomorrow. And while they aren't cheap, San Marzano tomatoes can't be beat for Italian red sauces and pizza sauce. 1
treeduck Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I eat them every day, cherry tomatoes, plum tomatoes, Spanish tomatoes, regular tomatoes...you name it. I have them with salads, on sandwiches or cook them in various ways. 1
rocket ignites Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 I'm more neutral. Used to avoid them when I was younger. Now I often like a nice crisp fresh slice on a burger or sub sandwich. 1
Lucas Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 Definitely pro tomato Years ago, my then girlfriend's Mom made tomato sauce ( for pasta ) from scratch, and I watched what she did .. I was all very simple, but the end result was amazing .. Completely different than the over processed stuff in a jar ... That really kick-started my tomato love
EagleMoon Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 If it's a fresh from the garden tomato I say yay. If it's a hot house pale little thing that's hard as a rock, I say nay. 1

custom55 Posted February 4, 2017 Posted February 4, 2017 In 6th grade I worked the summer on a farm picking tomatoes for $1.00 an hour ( child labor !!! ). One afternoon I picked a tomato that looked sooo good that I took a bite out of it. I chewed and swallowed it and then looked at the tomato. IT WAS FULL OF WORMS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Freaked me out so bad that I totally gave up tomatoes for decades. I can now eat them but only in a salad, on a burger, etc. I still cannot eat a slice of tomato on its own. Love ketchup though. 3

HomesickAlien Posted February 5, 2017 Posted February 5, 2017 I love Tormato... It's a variety bred in England in 1978, known only to a select few.

LedRush Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I didn't know hating tomatoes was a thing. I don't know that I've met anyone who doesn't like tomato sauce, ketchup, raw tomatoes AND cooked tomatoes. One or two of those, but not all.
Tinwoodsman Posted February 7, 2017 Posted February 7, 2017 I like garden fresh tomatoes in a salad or on a BLT sandwich ... now I'm hungry goshdarnit. 2
Crimsonmistymemory Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 I love'em my favorite way would be fresh vine ripe with a shaker of salt Mmmmmm, that's it I am going to get one now 1
