I think they're kind of icky. Though I can eat them if they're chopped up or fried and green. -- nm - Callisto Jul 23, 12:44
i only buy on-the-vine. they're much tastier. -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 12:41 1
- heck even a tomato from Holland grown in cotton is tasty - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:42
The taste and texture of raw tomatoes is vile. The only way to make them edible is to beat them into submission. - TWuG Jul 23, 12:39 13
- agreed. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 12:45 1
  - nice more tomatoes for the rest of us :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:50
- I felt similarly when I was a kid, until I had good cherry tomatoes. that was my gateway drug. *pause* we've done this before, haven't we? heh. - b. Jul 23, 12:45 3
  - Yes, everyone in my family has gone through the same schedule... taste for tomatoes, bleu cheese, mushrooms, olives, etc. - Dr.Vermin Jul 23, 12:52
  - Yep. I occasionally retry foods because my tastes do change. - TWuG Jul 23, 12:47 1
    - the texture thing is what I was after there... good cherry/grape tomatoes have a very different texture to the regular kinds. - b. Jul 23, 12:57
- Your subject made me sad for you. Your IM made me even sadder. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:41 6
  - Eh. Taste is taste. It's not like I hate something that is objectively good. - TWuG Jul 23, 12:44 1
    - Dude, you just stated your food tastes as if they were fact. I guess the "IMO"s are implied. :) -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:51
  - mmm avocado and shimps :) -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:43 3
    - I'm just curious: Who grows avocados in Europe? -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:44 2
      - avocado growers? - Danedukenuuk Jul 23, 12:45 1
        
        I think greenhouses proliferate here all the time, as well. As people demand better produce all year round. -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 12:48
Not a fan of the fruit itself, but enjoy the taste in sauces or ketchup. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 23, 12:34
or their name is "spawn" -- nm - chuckles Jul 23, 12:34
