I'm eating a tomato

OMG YOU NEVER EAT THE TOMATO PLANT!

:ahh:

You're just supposed to take care of it and bring it inside when doom is on and keep it outside when it's safe!

Well, that's just game over.

I'm going home now.

I'm eating a twinkie anyone else?

I gave up on buying fresh tomatos YEARS AGO.

no what kind I tried; they all tasted like cardboard!!
I tried the ones still on the little vines? AWFUL

the big 'beefsteak' ones? AWFUL

no matter WHAT I tried, they all stunk.

Then I saw in Heloise's column where a lady said she had the same problems and tried CANNED DICED TOMATOS!!

and she loved them.

So I got a can and have to say I'm NEVER buying fresh ones again......the canned diced toms are not mushy, as I thought they'd be, but very firm

Needless to say they are great in salads!!!

and other stuff too.

SOOOOOOO....tomato lovers, don't give up, but DO try them!!!

Horse Meat

For one, you should only get them when they're in season. The ones in the supermarket this time of year are probably shipped internationally and are so full of preservatives and junk that they have no flavor.

Grow your own or buy from a decent local farmer.

How did you eat it? On a sandwich? Salt? Sugar? Come on, details! Oh and pics, or it didn't happen. lol

Nice garden grown heirloom tomatoes are the best.
Nom nom nom.

Lol.

Salt is a tomato's best friend. And with tomatoes; the smaller, the sweeter, the better

tomatoes comtain a very powerful lectine
who agglutinates all kind of blood types

if you have any desiase or you are not that young better you say bye bye to tomatoes

Is that why cold pizza for breakfast started hurting my stomach when I became a boring grown up? :(

Have you ever tried sugar? I heard that some countries frown about salt on a tomato because it is a fruit.
